Match Preview :

Arsenal knows their third spot is in danger so they will want to get a win here and tighten their hold on the third spot when they host Norwich at Emirates Stadium in the early kickoff.

Arsenal are just a point above Tottenham and Newcastle with just two games left to play in the race for UEFA Champions League football next season. Meanwhile, Chelsea are a further four points behind the Gunners but could guarantee qualification should they beat Bayern Munich in this month's final, and that would mean only three places are allocated to English teams.

Arsenal goes into this match knowing that a win over Norwich and at West Brom next weekend will be enough to see them finish in third spot but will be no doubt under pressure after both Spurs and Newcastle secured wins in midweek.

Last weekend Arsenal dropped crucial points and that has left them without a win in their last three matches. They have dropped from the form that have seen them managed a run of seven wins in eight which took them to the top three.

No doubt Arsenal will be keen to get back to winning ways against a Norwich side to keep their current third spot and are favourites to end their final home game of the season on a high note.

Norwich meanwhile comes into this magtch after a 3-0 defeat at home to Liverpool and they will travel to Arsenal hoping for only their sixth away win of the season. Norwich have suffered three losses in a row now but can take comfort from the fact they have already secured their Premier League status for another year as they are safe from the threat of relegation. And Norwich are likely to face a tough task at the Emirates, with Arsenal having won each of their last four games against them. It has to be said that Arsene Wenger's men have also proved strong on home soil this season, with only leaders Manchester City having conceded fewer goals on their own turf.
