Arsenal vs Norwich City live stream: Team news, predictions and odds on Premier League tie

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta feels his team is prepared to play their first home match behind-closed-doors when they face Norwich City.

Despite playing four matches in all competitions now, the Gunners are yet to play Premier League football at the Emirates since Project Restart.

However, Arteta feels the last couple of weeks have helped his players familiarise themselves when they return to an empty Emirates.

"We had two friendlies at home before we started the Premier League and it was a really strange feeling but hopefully they [the players] are used to it now.

"We know what we expect, we've done all the protocols to make sure the players know exactly what they have to do and hopefully they can enjoy playing at Emirates Stadium again tomorrow."

Arteta also spoke about the concern for fitness and injuries during Project Restart too.

He added: "We just try to make the most out of it. It's been a great learning process as well for myself and the staff about the situation and the context that we are in.

"A lot of unexpected things have happened since I joined [and] we try to resolve the situations in the best possible way to help the players and the club to keep going in the right direction.

"Some things we cannot control and the ones we can control, we just try to make as many good decisions as possible."
