Everything about this match was chucked up in the air by events at London Colney on Friday morning. What had been cast as a possible upset now looks like a chance for Arsenal to restore confidence, with interim coach Freddie Ljungberg expected to go back to basics. Norwich meanwhile look finally to be over their injury crisis and will have restored confidence after an away win at Goodison, though Alex Tettey misses out in midfield for family reasons.
