The countdown is on to Freddie Ljundberg's first game as a Premier League manager.
Arsenal head to Norwich with the Swede on the line as caretaker boss of the Gunners after Unai Emery was dismissed on Friday, following seven games without a win.
The ex-player has been touted as a possible full-time replacement.
But he says he doesn't know the club's next move; "no indication of how long or how short, they just said concentrate on the next game - do as good as you can, for me that's what I look at"
Kick-off at Carrow Road is at 2-o'clock.
Freddie Ljungberg has named his first Arsenal starting XI - it includes Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.

At the same time, Wolves host Sheffield United at Molineux.
Matt Doherty is expected to line out for Nuno Espirito Santo's side while the Republic-of-Ireland's Enda Stevens, John Egan, David McGoldrick and Callum Robinson may all be called upon by Blades boss Chris Wilder.
Then at half-past-4 Leicester City can go back to second in the table with a win or a draw over Everton at the King Power Stadium and Manchester united host Aston Villa.
A win this afternoon for United will move them level on points with fifth placed Tottenham while going into the game Villa are just two points above the relegation zone.
