Arsenal have won nine of their last 12 competitive games, with six of those being accompanied by a clean sheet.
Four of these six wins to nil have been by 2-0 scorelines.
Norwich have lost three in a row without scoring.
Gabriel Martinelli has scored three goals in his last two Premier League appearances.
Canaries honeymoon period comes to an end

Norwich’s honeymoon spell under Dean Smith didn’t last quite as long as Canaries fans will have hoped and, following their 2-0 loss to Aston Villa last week, they find themselves on a three-match losing streak.

Their brief respite from this terrible form did give them some hope in the relegation battle though. They are now just three points from safety and only a point separates the bottom three, but they need to rediscover their form quickly to avoid being cast adrift once again.

Unfortunately for them, that turnaround is unlikely to come at Carrow Road on Boxing Day, with a raft of injuries and COVID-19 absences putting them on the back foot against an in-form Arsenal side.

Arsenal continue upward trajectory

The Gunners secured their position in the EFL Cup semi-final with a demolition of Sunderland on Tuesday and they have now won four in a row in all competitions, scoring an impressive 14 goals in the process.

Indeed, Arsenal’s early-season calamities seem a lifetime ago. They have won nine of their last 12 in all competitions and pushed themselves into the top four with their most recent win at Elland Road.

Gunners set for straightforward win

Another straightforward Gunners win is expected, and with them keeping a clean sheet in six of their last eight victories I don’t expect Norwich to offer much resistance. The hosts have scored just one goal in their last five matches and could be without as many as ten players, so I’m backing Arsenal to win to nil.

Four of these six recent wins to nil have been by a 2-0 scoreline and Norwich have conceded an average of two goals per game over the last three matches, so that’s my pick for a correct

阿森纳在过去的12场比赛中赢了9场，其中6场是零失球。
在这六场零胜的比赛中，有四场是2-0的比分。
诺维奇连输三场都没有得分。
加布里埃尔·马蒂内利在最近的两场英超比赛中已经打入三球。
金丝雀的蜜月期结束了

诺维奇在迪安·史密斯的蜜月期并没有像加那利球迷希望的那么长，在上周0:2输给阿斯顿维拉之后，他们发现自己陷入了三连败的状态。

虽然他们从糟糕的状态中得到了短暂的喘息，但在保级战中还是给了他们一些希望。他们现在离安全只有三分的距离，底部的三名选手之间也只有一分的距离，但他们需要迅速找回自己的状态，以免再次被抛在一边。

不幸的是，他们不太可能在节礼日卡罗路球场扭转局面，大量的伤病和新冠肺炎缺阵使他们在对阵状态良好的阿森纳时处于不利地位。

阿森纳继续上升

枪手在周二的英语杯半决赛中大胜桑德兰，保住了自己的位置，他们已经在所有比赛中取得了四连胜，在这一过程中打进了令人印象深刻的14个进球。

的确，阿森纳赛季初的灾难似乎是很久以前的事了。在过去的12场比赛中，他们赢得了9场胜利，并凭借最近在埃兰路的胜利跻身前四名。

枪手准备直接获胜

枪手的另一场胜利是可以期待的，他们在过去的8场胜利中有6场没有失球，我不希望诺里奇给他们太多的阻力。主队在最近的五场比赛中只进了一个球，而且可能少了十名球员，所以我支持阿森纳以零比零获胜。

最近的六场比赛中，有四场是2-0的比分，而诺维奇在过去三场比赛中平均每场丢两个球，所以这是我的选择
