On the 26th of December, Norwich City will host Arsenal in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. Norwich City is fresh off their 0-2 loss against Aston Villa. Jacob Ramsey struck first for Aston Villa in the 34th minute on a feed from Ollie Watkins, then Ollie Watkins added another in the 87th minute on a feed from Chukwuemeka In the end, Norwich City was frustrated by Aston Villa’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Aston Villa ended the match with the shutout victory. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while arsenal is fresh off their 4-1 win against Leeds United. Martinelli struck first for Arsenal in the 16th minute on a feed from Alexandre Lacazette, then Martinelli added another in the 28th minute. Arsenal should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 21 points in their last 10 matches.
In their last match on Sep 11th, Arsenal was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the first goal for Arsenal in the 66th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Norwich City couldn’t muster any offence and Arsenal ran away with the shutout win.
Both Martin Ødegaard and Emile Smith Rowe have been the hottest scorers for Arsenal in the last five each having scored 3 goals each.
Norwich City will be without Mathias Normann, Grant Hanley, Christoph Zimmermann and Andrew Omobamidele, while Arsenal will be without Sead Kolašinac, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Bernd Leno.
