Two of the bottom teams face off as Arsenal come up on Saturday vs Norwich in what is termed the El Relegato battle (Arsenal fans I’m kidding lol).
Both sides have started the season poorly with neither managing a single point in three outings.
The Gunners have had their worst ever start to a league season losing all three games, failing to score and conceding nine goals in total.
They didn’t fare well against the first promoted team they faced which was Brentford on opening day but Mikel Arteta’s side will be hoping to fix that against Norwich.
The North London club has been boosted with the return of key players from injury and illness with Kolasinac, Smith Rowe and Elneny their only unfit players.
Perhaps a stat that heavily favours the Gunners is that they have scored at least three goals in six of their last seven home league games against Norwich.
This could ultimately mean that Arteta’s side could finally find their scoring boots against the Canaries. They also haven’t lost a home game against their visitors in eight previous meetings (W6 D2).

On the other hand, the Canaries will also be looking to get their season on track and avoid a second Premier League relegation in three seasons.
The odds don’t seem to favour the Championship winners though as they have failed to win a single Premier League match in 13 attempts (D2 L11).
To make matters worse, the last time they won away at Arsenal was the 1992/93 season.
