Arsene Wenger will be hoping that the home support at the Emirates Stadium will make the difference as they host Norwich City in the Barclays Premier League.
There is only one match being played today in the Barclays Premier League with Arsenal hosting Norwich City at the Emirates Stadium in a match that the home side cannot afford to lose if they plan on playing in the UEFA Champions League next season.
The Gunners currently occupy third place in the league, albeit by the narrowest of margins. However, both Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United are just a point behind Arsene Wenger’s men in fourth and fifth place respectively and will be looking to benefit from any slip up by the Gunners.
Norwich City, on the other hand, have no chance of jumping up to 10th in the table depending on their result at the Emirates and other results going their way. The side has no chance of being relegated this season as they have already secured themselves a place in next season Barclays Premier League.
Based on form, Arsenal do have the upper hand have won two, drawn two and lost two of their previous six matches in the league while Norwich have not fared as well recording only one win, a draw and four loses in as many games.
Arsenal go in as clear favourites on the occasion with the league’s top scorer, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 not too far behind on 26 goals.
It will also be a chance for a number of players of to prove their worth as Arsene Wenger will also be considering which of his ageing squad members to sell in the upcoming transfer window as he looks to create space for some fresh blood.
Wenger will look to tinker with the side he put out against Stoke City last weekend although one can expect the back four and goal keeper to remain the same. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 shirt as well.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yossi-Benayoun-c37520 was instrumental in the Gunners’ goal against Stoke on the weekend and should be expected to start alongside Tomas Rosicky with Robin Van Persie providing the spearhead for the Arsenal attack.
As for Norwich City, well one can expect them to use the same line up they did in their previous match against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, though the manager would be considering giving a number of fringe players a run out as well.
