NOR vs ARS Premier League 2021-22 Preview:
Norwich City host in-form Arsenal at Carrow Road in the English Premier League fixture on Boxing Day. The Canaries are struggling at the bottom of the league table due to a lack of consistency this month. North London giants are in great form with qualification to the semi-finals of the EFL Cup three days ago.
The Canaries tried to make comeback in November with 2 wins and a draw in three league matches. But in December, they are without a win and enter this fixture after losing the last three matches without scoring a goal. They enter this fixture after losing 3-0 away against Tottenham Hotspur, a narrow 0-1 penalty defeat against Manchester United at home, and the most recent 0-2 home defeat against Aston Villa. They have managed to win just 2 matches from the opening 17 league fixtures and lost 11 times. With just 10 points so far, they are just 3 points off to the safe zone but have played 1 extra game than 17th placed Watford.
The Gunners started this month with 2 successive defeats against Manchester United and Everton. But after that Mikel Arteta turned the table with impressive displays. They have won all of their last 4 league matches, scoring 14 goals, and conceding just 2. Their latest win came against Sunderland in the EFL Cup quarter-finals fixture last Tuesday. North London giants now sit in 4th position in the league table with 32 points from the opening 18 league matches. They are 4 points clear to 5th placed West Ham United but both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur have played 2 and 3 matches less than them and are behind only 5 and 6 points respectively.
Mikel Arteta will be targeting that 4th spot for the rest of this season, with the first 3 spots are unmovable with Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea. Gunner will face very tough competition for the 4th spot from the likes of Manchester United, West Ham, Tottenham Hotspur, and Leicester City. So dropping points against the smaller clubs are out of the equation for the Gunners.
