Arsenal vs Norwich City Live Premier League live Live Football Score 1st July 2020

Arsenal return to the Emirates Stadium for the first time since March 7 on Wednesday night when they host relegation-threatened Norwich City.

Both teams were in FA Cup action at the weekend, with Arsenal progressing into the semi-finals whereas Norwich were knocked out by Manchester United.

Arsenal have suffered a torrid time of things with injuries since the restart, and David Luiz and Mesut Ozil joined the list of problems at the weekend.

Ozil missed out entirely due to a slight back injury and, while he could be back in contention for this one, the quick turnaround in fixtures will not help Arsenal’s cause at all.

Luiz, meanwhile, limped off with an ankle injury which will also threaten his involvement in this match, although Arsenal are yet to determine the full extent of the problem.

Gabriel Martinelli, Pablo Mari and Bernd Leno have also all picked up injuries since the restart which will keep them out for the remainder of the campaign, while Calum Chambers will not feature before next term either.

There could be better news elsewhere, though, with Cedric Soares in contention to make his long-awaited debut in this match and Lucas Torreira closing in on a return.

The likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Hector Bellerin and Dani Ceballos were left out of the starting lineup at the weekend but could all return for this match.

Norwich, meanwhile, will be without the suspended Timm Klose after his red card against United on Saturday.

Klose’s absence will only add to Farke’s defensive woes, with Grant Hanley, Christoph Zimmermann and Sam Byram already all ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Alexander Tettey finished the match at centre-back and may be forced to fill in there again from the start at the Emirates.

Lukas Rupp is also doubtful for the Canaries after picking up a hip injury against United, while Todd Cantwell will be assessed after coming off in that match too.

Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Martinez; Mustafi, Holding, Tierney; Bellerin, Ceballos, Xhaka, Saka; Pepe, Nketiah, Aubameyang.

Norwich possible starting lineup:
Krul; Aarons, Godfrey, Tettey, Lewis; McLean, Vrancic; Buendia, Duda, Hernandez; Pukki.
