Arsenal

There is still no room for Mesut Ozil or Matteo Guendouzi in Arsenal's match day squad.

Asked about the situation surrounding the two players, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has just told TV: "The situation hasn't changed."

Asked what is the situation, Arteta replied: "The same as it was last week."

Germany 2014 World Cup winner Ozil has not featured since the Premier League resumed and has been linked with a move away.

French midfielder Guendouzi, 21, has not played since confronting Brighton's Neal Maupay at the end of Arsenal's 2-1 defeat on 20 June.

Everton

Everton are the only team yet to win a penalty in the Premier League this season. They’ve gone 38 games since they last won one (vs Chelsea in March 2019), their joint-longest such run in the competition (also 38 in 2008).

Eddie Howe makes four changes to the Bournemouth side who lost 1-0 to Wolves on Wednesday.

They are without top scorer Callum Wilson, who serves a two-match suspension for accruing 10 yellow cards, so Dominic Solanke starts up front.

Arnaut Danjuma, Joshua King and Lloyd Kelly come into the starting line-up. Lewis Cook, Junior Stanislas and Jack Stacey drop to the bench.

Arsenal make four changes to the side that beat Southampton 2-0 last time out.

Reiss Nelson makes his first Premier League start since December while Alexandre Lacazette, David Luiz and Sead Kolasinac also return to the first XI.

Tom Trybull, Teemu Pukki and Todd Cantwell all start for Norwich, having all been on the bench for the 1-0 defeat to Everton in their last Premier League game.

Full team news to follow.

Everton

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Anthony Gordon return to the Everton starting XI, with Tom Davies and Bernard dropping down to the bench.

Leicester's key creator James Maddison is back from injury, but only on the bench. Marc Albrighton starts in the only change from the team narrowly beaten by Chelsea in the FA Cup.

Leicester have looked a little lethargic since the Premier League returned, and of course now they are out of the FA Cup too.

Physically, the Foxes look off the pace, which is always going to affect them. Up front, Jamie Vardy just does not look as sharp as he did earlier in the season.

It looks like they are going to need a few games to find their feet properly, which is a problem because the teams below them have closed the gap.

Everton, in contrast, are already back at it and I think they will fancy their chances here.

But Leicester still don't concede many goals even if they are not at full throttle going forward, which is why I think this will end up as a draw.

Prediction: 1-1

Staying up was Newcastle's aim for the season and they probably need one more point to be sure of doing that.

I think they will get it tonight. Magpies boss Steve Bruce will play his best team and Bournemouth have lost both of their games since the restart and are all over the place.

The only positive thing for the Cherries so far is that everyone else around them, apart from Brighton, have not picked up many points either.

Prediction: 0-0

Bournemouth, like Norwich, have had a tough start to life back on the pitch since football resumed.

The Cherries have lost all three fixtures they have played so far - losing to Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Wolves.

However, such is the form of those around them that a win against Newcastle tonight would life them out of the relegation zone and potentially three points clear of the drop, depending on results elsewhere .

Arsenal sneaked into the FA Cup semi-finals by beating Sheffield United on Sunday and they enjoyed a bit of good fortune in their win over Southampton in the league last week too.

That's football, though, and it should give them a bit of a lift - not that they should need it against Norwich.

The Canaries' boss Daniel Farke can take some positives from their own FA Cup performance at the weekend but I don't recall them creating too much in any of their games so far. I cannot see them opening Arsenal up.

Prediction: 2-0

Lawro's full predictions v grime MC and Liverpool fan Big Zuu

Norwich haven't won at Arsenal since the first ever day of Premier League action on 15 August 1992, with the Canaries coming from behind to win 4-2 at Highbury.

And yes, fair enough, Norwich have kept just one clean sheet in their last 12 Premier League meetings with Arsenal (31 goals conceded), with that coming in their only win against them in that time (1-0 in October 2012).

But just look what a win, no matter how unlikely it may seem now, would do to that table!

Hello!

The relentless march of football continues with another busy evening of Premier League action in which there's still plenty to play for - be it top-flight survival or the pursuit of European football for next season.

Here's what's coming up.

Arsenal v Norwich (18:00 BST)

Bournemouth v Newcastle (18:00 BST)

Everton v Leicester (18:00 BST)

West Ham v Chelsea (20:15 BST)

Time is rapidly running out for Norwich.

Bottom of the table, six points adrift of safety, seven games remaining.

On the face of it, that looks to be game over.

But everyone around them keeps losing too. One win and the fight for survival could be back on....
