Arsenal Eye First Win Against Norwich

By Daily Sports on September 11, 2021

 

The Emirates Stadium plays host to a bottom-of-the-table Premier League encounter on Saturday lunchtime, as Arsenal face off against another pointless side in Norwich City.

The Gunners were torn apart by champions Manchester City before the international break, while Norwich suffered a 2-1 defeat to Leicester City.

Many feared that Mikel Arteta's return to the Etihad would be a painful one after back-to-back defeats to Brentford and Chelsea, and those concerns were proven correct on a day where everything that could go wrong did go wrong for Arsenal.

The Gunners were forced to play most of the encounter with 10 men following Granit Xhaka’s sending off – although Ferran Torres and Ilkay Gundogan had already put City 2-0 up by that point – and the former would score again after further strikes from Rodri and Gabriel Jesus in a Pep Guardiola masterclass.

With his job coming under increasing scrutiny, Arteta is still thought to retain the faith of those upstairs, in spite of his side's standing at the bottom of the Premier League table with zero points and zero goals to their name, but the Gunners have not opened the season.

A 6-0 EFL Cup thrashing of a youthful West Bromwich Albion side represents the only silver lining in Arsenal's season so far, and they can only boast two wins from their last six league games at the Emirates, where 60,000 supporters are growing all the more frustrated by the week.

Should Arsenal fail to find the back of the net this weekend, it will mark the first time ever that they have registered zero goals in their opening four games of a league season, but Norwich are not exactly renowned for any form of defensive resolve either. (Sports Mole)
