Norwich City are set to play Arsenal at Carrow Road on Sunday in the English Premier League.
Norwich City come into this game on the back of a 2-0 loss to Steven Gerrard's Aston Villa in the English Premier League. Goals from young midfielder Jacob Ramsey and former Brentford forward and England international Ollie Watkins ensured victory for Aston Villa.
Arsenal, on the other hand, beat Lee Johnson's Sunderland 5-1 in the quarter-final of the EFL Cup. A hat-trick from young striker Eddie Nketiah and goals from Ivory Coast international Nicolas Pepe and midfielder Charlie Patino sealed the deal for Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. Welsh attacker Nathan Broadhead, on loan from Everton, scored the consolation goal for Sunderland.

Norwich City vs Arsenal Prediction
Norwich City, perhaps slightly surprisingly, decided to part ways with Daniel Farke in November. Former Brentford and Aston Villa manager Dean Smith replaced him, and has done a fairly good job given the circumstances. Not many expect the Canaries to be in the Premier League next season, but given the form of clubs like Leeds United and Southampton, Norwich City have a chance to defy the odds.
Arsenal, on the other hand, continue their youth-oriented revolution under Mikel Arteta. It is still unclear as to how good a manager Arteta really is, but not many can question the talent of several Arsenal youngsters. The likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka, Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White and Gabriel Martinelli look like superstars in the making.
The controversy surrounding Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has not died down, but given his poor form and Arsenal's recent performances, the noise around his disciplinary issues and subsequent removal as Arsenal's captain has probably not received as much traction. However, his situation is being unfavourably compared to that of Mesut Ozil during his final years as an Arsenal player.
Arsenal look in good touch and will be confident heading into this game. The Gunners should be able to beat Norwich City.
