The Premier League was a newborn the last time Norwich City won a road game at Arsenal. The Canaries now are trying to beat the Gunners for the sake of their own Premier League lives.
Arsenal will host Norwich City on Saturday at Emirates Stadium in a late-season Premier League clash between teams that occupy opposite ends of the standings. Arsenal sits fourth and is seeking to secure qualification in next season’s UEFA Champions League. Norwich City is locked in a struggle with Sunderland and Newcastle to avoid relegation.
Norwich City last beat Arsenal on the road in league play in 1992 — the first Premier League season. Norwich has drawn two and lost four of its six league visits to the red half of North London since then.
Some Arsenal fans are expected to protest the direction the club is taking under manager Arsene Wenger and owner Stan Kroenke. The spectacle could dampen the occasion of Wenger’s 750th Premier League game in charge of Arsenal (only former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has managed more, with 810).
An Arsenal victory could keep the fans’ frustrations at bay — if only for a few hours.
Here’s how to watch Arsenal vs. Norwich City online.
When: Saturday, April 30, at 12:30 p.m. ET.
