Arsenal look to overturn their misfortunes to the start of their Premier League campaign this weekend when they take on Norwich City. The match schedules for Saturday at the Emirates Stadium with kickoff at 5 pm.
Both sides are yet to register a win in their opening three games to the Premier League. However, Arsenal is the worse of the brunch and has yet to score a goal.
No one anticipated that after three games in the Premier League, Arsenal would find themselves at the bottom of the table. In addition, the side is yet to score a goal and only created one chance after 270 minutes in the Premier League.
Under pressure, Mikel Arteta could be shown the door if they fail to produce results this weekend. Antonio Conte is a prospect to take over, but the deal is not yet finalized or started. However, the board remains hopeful that Arteta will turn the sinking boat.
In hindsight, it was a tough start for Arteta, having lost eight key players to injury or coronavirus outbreak. Furthermore, bouts against Champions Chelsea and Manchester City did not do him any justice.
On the other hand, Norwich find itself in a similar predicament. No point after three games with losses to Liverpool, Manchester City, and Leicester City. It remains a tough start for Farke after getting the promotion to England’s top flight.
