Week 19 brings us a match on Dec 26th, where Norwich City hosts Arsenal at Carrow Road in a meeting of these two Premier League teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 6 degrees, so hopefuly the match makes up for the weather. In their last match, Norwich City recorded a 0-2 loss against Aston Villa. Jacob Ramsey scored the first goal for Aston Villa in the 34th minute, then Ollie Watkins added another in the 87th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed Norwich City couldn’t manage to score, and Aston Villa took the shutout win. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 5 of their last 10, while in their last match, Arsenal recorded a 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 the 11th of September, Arsenal was victorious by a score of 1 to 0. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang struck first for Arsenal in the 66th minute on a feed from Nicolas Pépé, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else In the end, Norwich City couldn’t muster any offence and Arsenal ran away with the shutout win.
Arsenal is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Martin Ødegaard and Emile Smith Rowe each having 3 goals in their last 5.
Mathias Normann, Grant Hanley, Christoph Zimmermann and Omobamidele are unavailable to play for Dean Smith’s team, while Mikel Arteta Amatriain’s Arsenal squad will be without Sead Kolašinac, Albert Sambi Lokonga and Bernd Leno.
