Arsenal vs. Norwich City: Live Score, Analysis and Recap

Arsenal will host Norwich City at the Emirates this weekend in the second-to-last match of the season in a bid to strengthen their grip on third place.

The Gunners could potentially clinch what might be the final Champions League place with a win over the Canaries and losses by both Tottenham and Newcastle to Aston Villa and Manchester City, respectively.

But Norwich will provide a challenge to North London's momentary kings and Arsenal will have to be on their guard to prevent a repeat of their capitulations against Wigan and QPR.

Arsenal will be boosted by the fact that Robin van Persie returned to his goalscoring ways against Stoke City last week, and even though the Gunners did not emerge victorious in that match, they retained their grip on third place and now hold their destiny firmly in their own hands.
