Sunday’s Premier League action from Carrow Road sees Norwich City face Arsenal.

The Canaries have won just one of their last eight league games, a run that has seen them slip dangerously close to the bottom three with a third of the season played.

Their latest defeat came to champions Chelsea, who recorded a 1-0 victory last weekend though that was only the second time that Alex Neil’s side had failed to score in the last nine.

Alex Tettey will once again miss out along with Matt Jarvis and Kyle Lafferty is doubtful though captain Russel Martin should return after missing the game at Stamford Bridge for personal reasons.

Cameron Jerome is widely available at 10.0 (9/1) to get the first goal of the game ahead of Dieumerci Mbokani, who is an 11.0 (10/1) shot with Paddy Power.

The home win is as highly priced as the 6.0 (5/1) on offer from on number of firms, with Arsenal favourites at 1.65 (13/20) with Bet 365. The draw is a 4.33 (10/3) chance with Betfred.

Arsene Wenger’s men missed the chance to go top last weekend when the suffered a shock defeat at the hands of West Bromwich Albion.

They have since bounced back with a comfortable 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League and another victory here will see them keep the pressure on their fellow title contenders.

Alexis Sanchez is set to play despite picking up a slight hamstring problem midweek while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Aaron Ramsey are also available.

Francis Coquelin is expected to be out until February with a knee injury, while Mikel Arteta, Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky and Danny Welbeck are also out.

Top scorer Olivier Giroud is favourite to open the scoring at 5.5 (9/2) with Paddy Power, with Sanchez a 6.5 (11/2) shot with Coral.

The Gunners have won the last three meetings between the sides, scoring at least twice in each of those games.

With that in mind, you might fancy backing the North London to net two of more this time around, which is priced at 1.57 (4/7) with Sky Bet.
