Our young Gunners will look to bounce back in the Premier League 2 when they travel to Norwich City on Friday, March 6.<\/p>\n

The match will take place at the Canaries’ Colney Training Centre, with kick-off scheduled for 7pm (UK time). The game will be available to stream on Arsenal.com and the official app.<\/p>\n

Our under-21s had gone five games unbeaten before last week’s narrow defeat to Ipswich Town. Despite the result, we remain well-positioned within the qualifying spots, with games in hand on many of our competitors.<\/p>\n

The Tractor Boys struck early through Tudor Mendel-Idowu and withstood waves of pressure to hold on to the slim lead and ultimately see out the game.<\/p>\n

the opposition<\/h2>\n

In stark contrast to our recent form, the Canaries had gone winless in eight PL2 fixtures before ending their poor run with a 4-2 victory over Stoke City a week ago. The Norfolk outfit currently sits in 22nd place with 16 points from as many games.<\/p>\n

Fortune hasn’t favoured the East Anglian side in the Premier League Cup either, having finished bottom of Group H behind Colchester United, Sunderland and Bromley.<\/p>\n

We last faced Norwich in March 2025, when strikes from Michal Rosiak, Jimi Gower and Will Lanin-Sweet secured a 3-0 win on the road.<\/p>\n
