Norwich City v Arsenal: match preview

Norwich City v Arsenal
Norwich City v Arsenal: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

Arsenal’s away form in the Premier League has been good – nobody has taken more points than them – but, as last weekend’s crash at West Bromwich Albion showed, they remain prone to the odd nightmare. Mesut Özil and Alexis Sánchez were in top form as they bounced back to beat Dinamo Zagreb at home on Tuesday and they ought to have too much for a Norwich team that has endured a very difficult past two months. It is rarely that straightforward. David Hytner
