Nicolas Pepe 

The Ivorian is starting to show the sort of performances that were expected of him when he arrived from Lille in a club-record deal last summer. 

His goals in recent games against Brighton and Sheffield United will boost his confidence and Pepe will be keen to find the net once again. 

Eight goals and eight assists in all competitions represents a decent first season for the 25-year-old, but he now needs to perform on a consistent basis and develop an understanding with Hector Bellerin behind him. 

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang 

Arsenal’s captain will be keen to find the net to end his four-game goal drought, and the visit of Norwich could be the perfect opportunity. 

Daniel Farke’s reckless attacking style has often left his side exposed this season and Aubameyang should have plenty of space to operate in. 

The Gunners will also need the Gabon international to be selfless and work for the team, much like he did at Southampton. 

Granit Xhaka 

The Swiss international has become a key cog in the Arsenal midfield under Arteta, and he will play an important role against Norwich. 

Xhaka must dictate the pace of the game from his deep-lying midfield and find a way to cut the Canaries open when he breaks forward. 

Another good performance from the 27-year-old would see him continue his road to redemption after his antics earlier in the season.
