Published on September 6, 2021, Arsenal FC is facing a daunting task as they prepare to take on Norwich City in their next Premier League match.
The Gunners have had a disastrous start to the season, losing their opening three fixtures to Brentford, Chelsea, and Manchester City, with their last match ending in a humiliating 5-0 defeat at the Etihad.
Despite signing Takehiro Tomiyasu for £17million plus add-ons, the team is still missing key players such as Ben White and Thomas Partey, who are yet to return to the pitch.
Arsenal's poor record is further highlighted by their streak of three losses by a margin of two or more goals in the Premier League, as well as their three consecutive defeats in HT/FT in the Premier League.
The team's struggles are compounded by their inability to score in their last three matches in the Premier League, while conceding an average of 2.00 goals.
On the other hand, Norwich City is on a roll, having gone unbeaten in nine of their last ten away matches in all competitions, and having scored over 2.5 goals in their last seven matches.
