    Half-time at the Emirates. Arsenal 2-0 Norwich. Two goals in four minutes from Aubameyang and Xhaka send the Gunners into the break ahead after a solid first-half display in which Ceballos and Tierney have impressed

  12. Dan Mountney: 18:48 #169

    47'- CLOSE! McClean hits a free-kick from range and it's heading for the top corner, but Martinez gets across and makes a superb save to keep the score at 2-0.

  17. Dan Mountney: 18:35 #164

    33'- GOALLLLLL ARSENAL! Aubameyang opens the scoring with a big assist from Norwich goalkeeper Krul. The Dutchman dwells on a back pass and the Gunners captain closes him down, wins the ball and slots home his 50th Premier League goal. 1-0 to The Arsenal

  18. Dan Mountney: 18:33 #163

    32'- CHANCE! The corner goes short to Nelson who does well to find space and put it on a plate for Lacazette, but the striker scuffs his shot wide when he should do better. 0-0

    Minutes silence taking place to remember former Arsenal coach Theo Foley.

  33. Dan Mountney: 17:58 #148

    A reminder of the Arsenal team: Martinez, Mustafi, Luiz, Kolasinac, Bellerin, Tierney, Xhaka, Ceballos, Nelson, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

  34. Dan Mountney: 17:57 #147

    Teams are out at the Emirates and kick-off is moments away. Stick with us for all the action.

  35. Dan Mountney: 17:51 #146

    Just under 10 minutes till kick-off at the Emirates. What are your score predictions for today?

  36. Dan Mountney: 17:40 #145

    Bukayo Saka has been speaking to BT Sport before this evening's game. He said: "My dad would pick me up from school. It would take an hour and a half to get to Hale End. I would sleep in the car. My dad gave up so much for me. Every time I put on an Arsenal shirt I remember his sacrifices."

  37. Dan Mountney: 17:36 #144

    Asked about the situation surrounding Mesut Ozil and Matteo Guendouzi, Mikel Arteta said: "The situation hasn't changed." Asked what is the situation, Arteta said: "The same as it was last week."

  38. Dan Mountney: 17:31 #143

    Norwich have a former Arsenal man in their ranks tonight. Substitute Josh Martin, 18, left the Gunners in 2019 after failing to make a first-team appearance for the club.

  39. Dan Mountney: 17:25 #142

    A record could be set tonight at the Emirates. Arsenal's first goal tonight will be the club's first goal in a competitive game in the month of July.

  40. Dan Mountney: 17:17 #141

    It's a big evening for Reiss Nelson who comes into the team to replace Nicolas Pepe. The winger is one of many rising stars at the Emirates, and a good performance against Norwich could see him feature a lot more before the end of the season.

  41. Dan Mountney: 17:11 #140

    Mikel Arteta makes four changes from the side that beat Sheffield United on Sunday as Bellerin, Ceballos, Nelson, Aubameyang replace Maitland-Niles, Willock, Pepe, Saka in the starting XI. Cedric Soares is named on the bench, while Ozil and Guendouzi aren't in the squad. What do you think of the team?

  42. Dan Mountney: 17:02 #139

    Arsenal team to face Norwich: Martinez, Mustafi, Luiz, Kolasinac, Bellerin, Tierney, Xhaka, Ceballos, Nelson, Lacazette, Aubameyang. Norwich team to face Arsenal: Krul, Aarons, Godfrey, Tettey, Lewis, Trybull, McClean, Rupp, Buendia, Cantwell, Pukki.

  43. Dan Mountney: 16:57 #138

    We'll have team news in a few minutes, but we are hearing Matteo Guendouzi is not in the matchday squad again.

  44. Dan Mountney: 16:56 #137

    Victory against Norwich this evening would see Arsenal jump to 7th in the Premier League for at least the next 24 hours, with Tottenham taking on Sheffield United tomorrow. Mikel Arteta's side still have slim hopes of qualifying for Europe, but they need a win at the Emirates today.

  45. Dan Mountney: 16:52 #136

    A win for Arsenal this evening would cap off a superb day for the club after announcing a new long-term deal for starlet Bukayo Saka earlier in the day. Find out more here - www.onlinegooner.com/articles/view/5194

  46. Dan Mountney: 16:48 #135

    Arsenal will also honour Theo Foley tonight after the former coach passed away last week at the age of 83. The club will wear black armbands and hold a moment of silence to remember George Graham's former assistant who spent four years at the club from 1986 to 1990.

  47. Dan Mountney: 16:43 #134

    History certainly favours Arsenal tonight. The Gunners are unbeaten in the past seven meetings with Norwich in league and cup, with the Canaries' last win at Arsenal coming in both clubs' inaugural Premier League match in August 1992. Norwich have also conceded 31 goals and kept only one clean sheet in the last 12 league encounters between the teams.

  48. Dan Mountney: 16:39 #133

    We'll have news of Arsenal starting XI from 5pm, but here's some early team news for you. Lucas Torreira, David Luiz and Mesut Ozil are all being assessed ahead of the game, while Cedric Soares is fit and could make his debut for the club. Bernd Leno, Pablo Mari and Calum Chambers are all out. Would you like to see start?
