Arsenal travel to face Norwich in a Boxing Day showdown that could cement their place in the top four going into the new year.

The Gunners have won three Premier League games on the spin and sit four points deep into the top four, ahead of West Ham who boast a game in hand.

It’s a dramatic turnaround for Mikel Arteta, whose relatively short reign has been littered with false dawns and wobbles. He will be determined to make this run of form stick.

Norwich remain rooted to the foot of the Premier League table with three consecutive defeats drawing Dean Smith’s managerial honeymoon period to an abrupt close.

The former Villa boss will hope to see his men put up a good fight on home soil as they scramble to piece together any kind of form.

Our prediction: Norwich v Arsenal

If Arsenal are serious about finishing inside the top four come May, then these are the games they must comfortably retrieve three points from. No drama, no fuss, just in and out.

Young guns Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are all bristling this season and have enough spark to dispatch almost any team in the top flight.

Consistency is key for Arteta now. Win their festive games against lesser opponents and Arsenal will be taken seriously by the masses once more.

Our prediction: Norwich 0-2 Arsenal (13/2 at bet365)
