Arsenal and Norwich City still have a lot to play for over the last few weeks of the English Premier League season and will be squaring off against each other at the Emirates Stadium in London this Saturday, April 30th. The Gunners are desperately trying to hang onto their fourth-place position to qualify for the 2016/17 European Champions League while Norwich has four games remaining to dig themselves out of the relegation zone. Both teams need all the points they can get, but somebody’s going to be disappointed when the final whistle blows. Arsenal was held to a 0-0 draw in Sunderland last weekend while Norwich was beaten 3-0 at home by Sunderland in their last match two weeks ago.
Arsenal currently sits in fourth place in the league with 64 points from 18 wins, 10 draws and seven losses with 58 goals scored and 34 allowed.

The Gunners have eight clean sheets at the Emirates and have failed to score on four occasions. Overall, they’ve posted 16 clean sheets and have been shut out eight times.

The Gunners need to be aware of fifth-place Manchester United though as they trail Arsenal by five points and have a game in hand.
