Norwich City hosts Arsenal in round 19 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, December 26th at Carrow Road (Norwich)
Dean Smith's team is in the last 20th place in the standings with ten points. Norwich City has two victories, four draws, and 11 losses after 17 rounds. The Canaries have not played in the Premier League since December 14 due to the coronavirus epidemic among football players. A large number of diseased players in Norwich’s camp led to the postponement of the away match against West Ham from 18 December to another date. Before the forced break, Smith's players did not shine in the championship. They suffered three defeats in three consecutive rounds. Norwich turned out to be weaker than Tottenham (3-0), Manchester United (0-1), and Aston Villa (0-2).

Mikel Arteta's team is in 4th position in the standings with 32 points after 18 matches. Arsenal gained ten victories and two draws and suffered six losses. The Gunners approached the next round with a streak of three consecutive victories in the English Premier League. Arteta's footballers scored three points in the confrontations against Southampton (3-0), West Ham (2-0), and Leeds (1-4). On December 21, the Gunners reached the League Cup semifinals, confidently dealing with the representative of the 3rd English division, Sunderland (5-1). The hero of the match was Edward Nketiah, who scored a hat-trick. Two other goals were scored by Nicolas Pepe and Charlie Patino.
The opponents last crossed paths in the fourth Premier League round in London on September 11. The Gunners, who shot on Norwich's goal 30 times, won 1-0 thanks to a goal by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Arsenal will be the clear favorite of the match at Carrow Road. Arteta's team is coming up to Boxing Day in good shape. In the current championship, the Gunners are stable in matches against representatives of the lower part of the standings. As for the unexpected results in recent weeks, there was only a defeat to Everton (2-1). In addition, Arsenal will go to the team with the worst home statistics. The Canaries have beaten only Southampton at home this season (2-1). Norwich is hampered by offensive problems. Every goal turns out to be an event for the championship outsiders. Four of the last five opponents of the Canaries have kept a clean sheet, and it is highly likely that Arsenal will also not concede from them and win.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with a clean sheet
