Norwich v Arsenal - after a shaky start to the season Arsenal are now unbeaten in 7 games in all competitions and have moved up to 7th in the league. That run includes away victories at Marseille and Chelsea. Norwich have lost only 1 of their 5 home games in the Premier League but have yet to host a side placed higher than 10th. Norwich have not won in 3 games and drew their last home game against Blackburn following the fortunate award of an injury time penalty. Arsenal are 7/10 favourites to win this game.
Both Teams Score - Norwich have scored in 9 of 11 Premier League games this season, in 4 of 5 at home. Arsenal have scored in 16 of 19 games in all competitions this season and in their last 7 games away from home. No clean sheets in 12 games for Norwich, Arsenal have not kept a clean sheet away in the Premier League since the opening day of the season. It's 4/6 that both teams score.
Under/Over 2.5 Goals - 16 goals have been scored in the 5 Premier League games at Carrow Road this season. 28 goals have been scored in Arsenal's 5 away games. It's 4/6 for over 2.5 goals in this game.
Anytime goalscorer - Robin Van Persie leads the Premier League goalscoring charts with 11 goals this season. He has 29 Premier League goals in 2011, which is also more than anyone else (Rooney next with 19). 11/10 available for Van Persie to score anytime in this game.
Swansea v Manchester United - Swansea are unbeaten at home this season and managed a creditable draw at Anfield last time out. Brendan Rodgers' side have been playing some excellent football and lie in 10th place after a good start to the season. United are unbeaten away from home and will likely pose more problems for Swansea than the 5 previous visitors this season, who were all placed in the bottom half of the table. This is likely to be a tough test for United but with Rooney well rested during the international break, United's superior quality should edge a tight game. United can be backed at 14/25 to win.
Under/Over 2.5 Goals - Swansea have conceded only once at the Liberty in 5 home games this season. Those 5 games have seen a total of just 9 goals. United have conceded 3 goals in 5 away games that have seen a total of 13 goals. United hit 5 at Bolton but have managed only 5 more in their other 4 away games. 13/12 is available for under 2.5 goals.
