Norwich have improved slightly under Dean Smith but still sit bottom of the table with three defeats and no goals scored in their past three games.

In their last fixture they were edged out 1-0 at home to Man Utd and will hope for more joy on Boxing Day.

Ahead of this match, Arteta has stated his hope that the Premier League will not be forced behind closed doors again due to the Omicron variant.

He said: “Please don’t go back to that stage. We have experienced that and it is something that we don’t like, so hopefully it is not what happens.

“It’s a different sport and football is all about sharing it with people, and having fans around the stadiums.

“When it is not, it’s a completely different sport and the competition gets, I don’t know, lost. It’s not the same.

“We will play like we have to play. What I am saying is that obviously nobody wants to go back to where we were because we have already experienced it – and it is not something we enjoyed a lot.

“But if we have to carry on doing that, of course we will.”

What time does Norwich vs Arsenal kick off?

  • Norwich host Arsenal on Sunday, December 26.
  • The match kicks off at 3pm UK time.
  • It will be played at Carrow Road.
  • The sides last met in September when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the only goal to secure Arsenal’s first win of the season.

What TV channel is Norwich vs Arsenal on and can I live stream it?

  • Unfortunately, Norwich vs Arsenal is not live on UK television, as Uefa’s blackout rules still apply even on Boxing Day.
  • NBCSN has the rights to the Premier League in the United States.
  • To stream the game live, US viewers can head to FuboTV.
