Arsenal take on Alex Neil’s Norwich City in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium this weekend, looking to solidify their place amongst the top four.
Having crashed out of the race for the title, Arsene Wenger’s side must try and confirm their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League by beating out competition from the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United, West Ham and Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
The Gunners are unbeaten in six but drew against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light last weekend, dropping a further two points and Paul Merson, in his weekly prediction column for Sky Sports, admitted that while he believes Arsenal will win the game 3-0, he is constantly ‘let down’ by the north London side.
Norwich will know what they have to do, if Newcastle and Sunderland have got results then they need to get something out of this game.
At the same time, Arsenal are fighting now. They’ve gone from trying to win the league to fighting for the top four. I expect Arsenal to win this game, I’m one of those people who think they’ll keep winning and most of the time they let you down.
But they need to win, because if Manchester United and West Ham win they could soon be out of the top four.
Wenger is set to face a difficult atmosphere this weekend, with protests and banners expected signalling their displeasure at the state of affairs the club is currently experiencing.
