Arteta launches staunch defence of Arsenal's transfer policy
Arsenal host Norwich City as the Premier League action returns on Saturday with manager Mikel Arteta under pressure. The Gunners lost their first three league games of the season, but have a chance to end that poor run against Daniel Farke's side, who are also yet to take a single point.
Express Sport takes a look at the Arsenal team Arteta could pick as he looks to kick-start his side's season in the Emirates Stadium clash.

Thomas Partey is another player who is fit again, having recovered from an ankle injury.
Granit Xhaka is suspended following his red card against Man City, while Mohamed Elneny is out with a hamstring strain.
That could mean another chance to impress for Albert Sambi Lokonga, despite the summer signing having suffered a slight issue which caused him to miss Belgium's game against Belarus.
Martin Odegaard will continue in the attacking playmaker role, while the Gunners staff will need to check on Emile Smith-Rowe after he was ill on England under-21 duty.

Having started on the right against City, Bukayo Saka could revert to the left wing with Nicolas Pepe coming back in on the opposite flank.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was starved of service against City, but looked sharp as he scored a hat-trick in the win over West Brom a few days earlier, and will likely lead the line.
Arteta will also be able to call on the likes of Alexandre Lacazette and Gabriel Martinelli from the bench.
Arsenal predicted XI vs Norwich (4-2-3-1): Leno; Chambers, White, Gabriel, Tierney; Partey, Lokonga; Pepe, Odegaard, Saka; Aubameyang.
