Key player Arsenal

At just 21 years of age, Emile Smith Rowe is proving to be one of the sensations in the league and, more importantly, has made the most of his opportunities with Arsenal, noting that he is the club's current top scorer with seven goals.

December 26, 2021 8:03 AM ET

Key player Norwich City

Despite being one of the highest-scoring goalkeepers in the Premier League, Tim Krul has had some outstanding performances to prevent more goals in his frame and he should have a brilliant afternoon to stop all the Gunners' attempts.

Arsenal: on a roll

After a poor start to the season, Arsenal has righted the ship and has moved into the top four of the Premier League, with a run of three consecutive victories that they will look to extend this Sunday against the bottom team of the Premier League; last Sunday they beat Leeds United 1-4 as visitors.

Norwich: to get out of the basement

Norwich is the worst team in the Premier League with only 10 points, only two victories in the championship and eight goals scored, so if they want to avoid relegation problems, they will have to start now to add how and where to save the category.
