Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta plans surprise selection shake-up after summer transfer overhaul

Arsenal will attempt to get their first points on the board against Norwich this weekend.

Arsenal could line-up with a new-look side against Norwich on Saturday as boss Mikel Arteta attempts to right the wrongs of a dismal start to the Premier League season. Fans are desperate to see a turnaround in fortunes, with an active summer in the transfer market yet to bear fruit on the pitch.

The Gunners’ £150 million summer spending spree was the biggest anywhere in Europe, as well as in their history.

Even so, they started the campaign with three successive defeats, zero goals scored and bottom of the league heading into the international break.

While it prolonged the time that Arsenal have been at the foot of the table, it also gave Arteta some much-needed respite to gather his thoughts and make a new plan going forwards.

After facing Manchester City and Chelsea in their first three games, they are now greeted by a much easier run of fixtures upon their return to action.

A date with the Canaries at the Emirates lies in wait on Saturday, before a trip to Burnley and an EFL Cup tie with AFC Wimbledon.

All three of those encounters could provide the perfect backdrop for Arteta’s new signings to bed in, gain some confidence and steer the club back towards winning ways.
