Arsenal great David Seaman has slammed the current team.
The Gunners sit bottom of the Premier League after three games following defeats by Brentford and Manchester City either side of a 2-0 London derby reverse by Chelsea last month.
"The players haven't turned up, even towards the end of last season," former goalkeeper Seaman told talkSPORT.
"I know Arteta was getting a lot of stick but the players weren't turning up and I was like, 'hang on, these guys are getting away with murder', because there's not a lot being said about them and they're not performing to their best.
"I went to the Chelsea game and I was like, 'oh God they're way ahead of us at the moment'.
"This is where we are at the moment and it's a massive game now, I'm glad it's at home because if it was away it would be a really tough game, the pressure of the fans at the Emirates will tell.
"There will be some major pressure going on if Norwich do score first.
"They've got to turn up this weekend, it's a massive game and I fear the worst if we get beaten, because the fans will turn. They're not happy with two seasons of finishing eighth, it's nowhere near good enough."
