match preview : Norwich City v Arsenal

theguardian 

A week ago this game still had the possibility of being decisive for both fourth place and relegation, but it is now a dead rubber unless Norwich can conjure the cricket score victory they need to have a chance of overhauling West Bromwich Albion. Relegation will have huge implications at Carrow Road, which puts Arsenal's season fourth place and a Cup final to look forward to into perspective. Paul Chronnell
