Match Preview: Arsenal vs Norwich City

They may currently be the Premier League's bottom two, but Arsenal and Norwich City players come into this game with contrasting levels of pressure on their shoulders.

Most fans would have figured this is where might be at this early point in the season, with a difficult run of fixtures - including champions Manchester City - giving them a harsh welcome to the league following last season's promotion. similarly have had a tough run of games to start, but even so, few would have imagined they'd come out of those games without even scoring a goal and rock bottom of the table in September.

Must-win for the Gunners

Defeat to another newly promoted side, this time at home, is unthinkable for manager Mikel Arteta. His job would surely be hanging by a thread should that happen. On paper this seems the perfect game for Arsenal to shake off the cobwebs and finally kick-start their season, with the likes of Aubameyang and Lacazette eager for goals, though being such heavy favourites brings its own pressure.

The job for the Gunners here is simple. It doesn't have to be pretty; just make sure to secure the win or people will start thinking Arsenal will struggle to challenge the top half, let alone for European places.
