“We are in a position where you want to be after 13 games but there are 25 to go”.

The Gunners will take on Norwich away from home at Carrow Road in the Premier League on Sunday evening, and Owen believes that the North London outfit will pick up all three points. “It was an unlucky day, that can happen in a season but after it is how you respond to that and we did that well on Tuesday”.
Despite this, Wenger stated that he will have to assess the situation nearer the time and weigh up the possibility of playing Sanchez on Sunday.
If Sanchez is rested against Norwich, then Wenger knows he can rely on the ability of former Real Madrid man Mesut Ozil, who looks to have finally settled in the Premier League this season and leads the league in assists.
The Gunners are fourth in the league table at the moment with 26 points from 13 matches, just two points behind leaders Leicester. “Personally, I don’t think I’ve been as good this season as I have in previous years”, he added. It is so tight and I don’t even look at the league anymore because it is very, very tight. You want to see teams be expressive and expansive and open the game up to entertain.
Arsenal are confident that star winger Alexis Sanchez will shake off his injury in time for their clash against Norwich City on Sunday, according to reports from the Daily Mail. The way they play is fantastic to watch as a football fan.
Aaron Ramsey has scored in each of his last two appearances against the Canaries in the Premier League. Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin will again be missing after being ruled out for three months with knee ligament damage, while Mikel Arteta and Theo Walcott are also sidelined.
We will be regarded as one of the smaller teams in the league.
Forward Kyle Lafferty also returns to contention, having recovered from a groin problem, but Alex Tettey (groin) and Matt Jarvis (knee) remain unavailable for selection.

Ozil now has 11 assists in the Premier League this season, five more than any other player, while no player in the history of the competition can equal that haul after a team’s opening 13 games.
