Newly-promoted club Norwich City (3-7-3, 12 points) is scheduled to meet with powerhouse team Arsenal FC (8-3-2, 26 points) at the Carrow road this Sunday to cap the week's 2015-2016 Premier League season matches.
Norwich City dropped its fifth game in the last six outings last Saturday to defending champions Chelsea, 0-1, at the Stamford Bridge, as per SkySports.
Blues forward Diego Costa provided the lone goal of the match four minutes after the hour mark for Jose Mourinho to hand the Canaries their seventh loss of the season.
Meanwhile, erstwhile second placers Arsenal failed to capture the league leadership as they drop a disappointing 1-2 decision to West Brom also last Saturday at the Hawthorns, as reported by The Guardian.
French striker Olivier Giroud successful scored the opening goal for Arsene Wenger's side at the 28th minute, but the team didn't realize it would also be their last.
Seven minutes later, Baggies winger James Morrison equalized the count with a soft volley off a free kick. However, the Gunners put the nail in their own coffin when substitute midfielder Mikel Arteta flicked the ball back into his own net after blocking a James McClean cross at the 40th minute.
A scoreless second half ensued and Arsenal missed the chance to go on top of the league with the loss.
The predicted result is a 3-1 win for Arsenal. Wenger and his boys redeem themselves from the embarrassing defeat to West Brom.
Norwich City starting lineup (4-4-1-1 formation): Ruddy; Bennett, Bassong, Wisdom, Olsson; Howson, Brady, O'Neil, Mulumbu; Mbokani; Redmond
Arsenal starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Cech; Koscielny, Bellerín, Mertesacker, Monreal; Coquelin, Cazorla; Sánchez, Özil, Gibbs; Giroud
