Norwich v Arsenal (1245 GMT)

Norwich have been excellent at home all season but this is their first real test against an Arsenal team suddenly playing with real confidence.

The Canaries only know one way to play, they come forward but if you do that against the top teams they will just pick you off on the break with real quality.

Everybody knows about Robin van Persie and his goalscoring form but the key for Norwich will be trying to stop Arsenal in the middle of the park as that is where they will control the game.

Van Persie is virtually scoring a goal a game at the moment but if Norwich try to stop him from playing then Theo Walcott, Gervinho, Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey can all hurt you so it is going to be very tough.

I expect a strong showing from Norwich but Arsenal will be too good.

Prediction: 1-2

Thats what i went for as well. Might change it now

This one is a potential banana skin, can see us dropping points here even though we're on a good run.

I think if we defend well and are clinical we'll see them off but if we switch off or take them for granted then we could be in trouble.

Acid test of our new found maturity, for me...

I'm going for John Terry falling over and RvP scoring a hattrick :smile:

not sure how specific that is to norwich - that applies to every single game

Shame about Jenkinson's injury, I don't really trust Djourou at right back.

They are both crap so playing one over the other doesnt really make a difference. We need Sagna back asap and a good RB for cover in january
