Finally the internationals are over and England have qualified for the finals, happy days all round. It appears at the moment that we have escaped the internationals relatively injury free. Mesut Ozil worryingly limped off in Germany's game against Sweden but it seems he just has a bruised knee. He will undergo a fitness test before the match but the signs are positive.
Santi Cazorla is back in full training and the only question mark is his fitness so he may play some role against Norwich but I'm not convinced he'll start. The same applies to Bacary Sagna, he will probably be in the squad but I doubt he'll start. Rosicky is available to play if Wenger sees fit.
The freedom that Wenger now has in the midfield is to pick his midfield to play against the oppositions weaknesses. So the manager will decide who to play depending on what he sees as Norwich weaknesses. Their strengths lie in attack in my opinion. With van Wolfswinkel leading the line and the powerful Leroy Fer sitting behind the holding midfielders will have a to be up to scratch. For me this may indicate the Rosicky/Flamini pairing as although Arteta is fit he isn't the most powerful of players.
We have the quality in the team to give them problems, I think we'll have Wilshere and Ramsey on the wings to help feed Giroud from more central positions. Hopefully Ozil will pass his fitness test and work his recent magic to provide our players with the opportunities to score. It'll be a tough game against a side that have had a poor start to the season that they will look to put right. We need to pick our form back up after the break if we want to remain as the pace setters for the league.
It can be difficult after the internationals to regain form straight away but that's what the best teams do and if we want to seriously challenge for the title we need to hit the ground running.
