Arsenal have the chance of kickstarting their season on Saturday afternoon when they host Norwich City. An international break, new month and key players returning could give Arsenal a fresh start after difficult month of August.

Arsenal have been boosted by the return of key players. Thomas Partey, Ben White, Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel have all recovered from their respective injuries and illnesses.
