The Gunners head to Carrow Road on Sunday for a Premier League match v Norwich City.
Even though the Canaries are currently dead last in the Premier League table, I expect Mikel Arteta will field his strongest starting XI to push for the win and the much needed three points.
Hopefully, Carabao Cup stars Eddie Nketiah and Nicolas Pepe will also get some well-deserved playing time this weekend. In my opinion, they have both earned the opportunity.
With that said, here’s my suggested starting XI v Dean Smith and his Norwich City squad…
[4-4-1-1]
Lacazette
Odegaard
Martinelli, Xhaka, Partey, Saka
Tierney, Gabriel, White, Tomiyasu
Ramsdale
Predicted final score: Norwich City 0 – ARSENAL 3
COYG!









Mikel Arteta said on Friday Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber are all in contention to be in the squad for Saturday’s match.
According to Graeme Bailey of TEAMtalk, Arsenal has intensified their interest in Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams as a top summer priority.
Fabrizio Romano is reporting Calum McFarlane will be the Chelsea interim manager until the end of this season.
Arsenal Women have confirmed Manu Zinsberger will leave the club at the end of this season. The Austrian goalkeeper has totaled 51 cleans sheets in 143 appearances for the Gunners.



Stat of the Day: David Rays has made 53 saves and had 15 cleans sheets in 33 appearances this season for Arsenal.
American movie star Anne Hathaway on the Gunners title chances, “They better. I believe in Arsenal.”
Gabriel Magalhaes, “We need to be strong on Sunday, We are at this club to play these kind of games.”

Ten Premier League managers have been sacked this season, including three at Nottingham Forest, and two each at Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.






I’d like to see holding start to allow a bit more rest for a centre back. I’d also give tomiyasu another break.
Rest some defenders for the big matches coming. Second half if we leading by decent score then rotate some of the midfield and strikers.
We got a busy few weeks coming up. And we want a good fit squad for when we play the scowsers in the carabao semi final.
