Norwich City are aiming for their first victory on Boxing Day (D1 L6), playing more matches than any side without ever winning.
Norwich are at the foot of the table with 10 points – only three teams bottom of the Premier League table at the start of Boxing Day have avoided relegation: West Bromwich Albion in 2004/05, Sunderland 2013/14 and Leicester in 2014/15.
Arsenal have lost just two of their 23 Premier League matches on Boxing Day (W14 D7), going down 3-2 at Coventry City in 1999/00 and 4-0 at Southampton in 2015/16.
The Gunners earned their first Premier League win of the season in the reverse fixture against Norwich – only twice previously have they done the Premier League double against them (2004/05 and 2013/14).
