If they win, Arsenal go above Tottenham in the table, which heaps the pressure on Spurs.
When they won the north London derby on 3 March, Tottenham were rightly ecstatic and went seven points clear of the Gunners but it looks like it is Spurs who will have to start doing the chasing now.
Arsene Wenger's side were hanging on a bit in their win over West Brom last week following the 'Tomas Rosicky Show' that saw the Czech put them 2-0 up.
The Baggies came back strongly, forcing Arsenal very deep and into a few mistakes but they won, which is the most important thing, and they have won three games in a row since that derby defeat so they are clearly in decent form.
So I think we are looking at a comfortable win for Wenger's side, even if they have a bad day, because I cannot see Norwich getting anything at Emirates Stadium.
The Canaries hardly managed a shot on target in their defeat by Wigan the other week, although they improved a bit in their draw with Swansea.
Their next two home games, against Reading and Aston Villa, have got 'must-win' written all over them.
Norwich are going to be fine in terms of staying up but a run of one league win in 15 means they are making it difficult for themselves when you consider how quickly they got to 25 points, reaching that mark by 15 December.
Lawro's prediction: 3-0
