Live Text isn't live anymore, this is a record of the match events.
90
STAY ONLINE: Our post-match show with Nigel Winterburn and Dan Roebuck is about to get underway
90
COMEBACK: Turner's header gave Norwich the lead but Arteta's penalty - controversially given - and goals from Giroud and Podolski completed the turnaround
Full Time IT'S ALL OVER! Arsenal have come from behind to record a huge win in the race for a Champions League place
90
GOOD INTERPLAY: Arsenal are finishing strongly here as Cazorla and Podolski exchange passes - but neither can get a shot away
90
WONDERFUL FROM SANTI: What a first touch that is and then he nutmegs his marker - brilliant play from Cazorla
90
Yellow Card Snodgrass goes into the book for a late challenge. His frustration boiled over there
90
GOAL! - Lukas Podolski 3 : 1 YEEEEEEESSS! Walcott finds Podolski and he swivels before arrowing a low shot into the corner. Surely game over now!
90
SIX MINUTES OF STOPPAGES: Things could get anxious here!
90
GIROUD SHOOTS: That was travelling but Bunn gets a fingertip to it and concedes the corner
90
Substitution NORWICH CHANGE: On comes Jackson for the visitors
89
GREAT SAVE! Howson with the shot and Fabianski gets down well to keep it out. Arsenal need to keep their concentration here
88
GOAL! - Olivier Giroud 2 : 1 YEEEESSSSSSSSS! Brilliant play from the Ox and Giroud bundles his cross over the line!
87
CAN ARSENAL FIND A WINNER? They have three minutes plus stoppages to do it
85
GOAL! - Mikel Arteta 1 : 1 ARTETA SCORES FROM THE SPOT! Bunn went the right way but could only help the ball into the net
84
Yellow Card BUNN BOOKED: He made his feelings known about the penalty and gets a yellow card
83
PENALTY TO ARSENAL: The linesman gave it for shirt-pulling and Norwich are fuming about that
80
Substitution HERE COMES THE OX: And it's Sagna who makes way for him
78
PODOLSKI SHOOTS: And it crashes off the bar! What a strike from Poldi, he really got hold of that. Good lay-off from Giroud to set him up
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
"What a strike that was! Unbelievable hit from Podolski"
77
FRUSTRATION: The crossing and final ball has not been good enough today and Arsenal don't look like scoring at the moment
76
VERMINATOR: Excellent saving tackle from the captain - if he'd missed that Norwich would have been through on goal
75
SNODGRASS LINES ONE UP: Norwich have a free-kick 35 yards out but Snodgrass takes it on... it hits his own man and rolls behind for a goal kick
73
MARTIN SHOOTS: Norwich hit Arsenal on the break and Martin fires in a shot but Fabianski clings on
73
GIBBS WITH THE CROSS: But that's behind Podolski and Giroud and the chance goes begging
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
"The players just have to keep believing now"
71
PODOLSKI!: Arsenal are struggling to break down Norwich but Poldi had a sight of goal at the far post there - only for his touch to betray him
69
WARMING UP: The Ox is stretching on the touchline - looks like he'll be Arsenal's third and final change at some point
68
COOL FROM BASSONG: Cazorla's shot spins up off a defender and Bassong keeps his head to guide a header back to his keeper and take the pressure off
67
NORWICH ORGANISED: They've got a bank of four behind a bank of five and just Holt up front. This could be a siege
65
PENALTY SHOUT: Walcott beats his man for pace and goes down in the box but Whittaker seemed to get the ball and nothing is given
63
SNODGRASS AGAIN: He delivers a really good free-kick and this time Holt is on the end of it... but the flag goes up for offside
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
"This Arsenal side will create three or four chances to score here. It's just about if they can finish them"
62
Substitution NORWICH CHANGE: On comes Fox, off goes Johnson
Top Comments:
@uzamaobi on Twitter says:
#AFCvNCFC we can not afford a slip up now let's go arsenal we can do it
60
Substitution HERE'S POLDI: He replaces Gervinho
60
Substitution WILSHERE IS COMING OFF: He'll be replaced by Theo
58
WALCOTT IS READY: Theo will be on in just a moment. All the noise is coming from the away end as Norwich's travelling fans enjoy their shock lead
56
GOAL! - Michael Turner 0 : 1 Snodgrass whips in the free-kick and Turner gets across his marker to head into the corner. Simple goal and Arsenal have to improve
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
"Arsenal have the players to turn this around. When you have been on a good run, you believe you can recover anything"
54
SO CLOSE: Wilshere almost gives Arsenal the lead and a mad scramble develops in the Norwich six-yard box - there's a shout for handball but the ref waves play on
52
TEMPO: Arsenal need to build up a head of steam here and it seems it will take a substitution to do it. The passing hasn't been crisp enough
50
HALF-CHANCE NORWICH: Turner heads down a corner kick and Bassong can't quite hook it into the net. Let-off for the Gunners
49
WARMING UP: Big cheer for Theo as he jogs along the touchline to start his warm-up. Podolski is with him

@lampnoodle38 on Twitter says:
Bet fabianski is loving this run in the team. A new found defence that work for each other. #afcvncfc
47
FREE-KICK TO ARSENAL: That's a great ball in from Cazorla but Norwich can get it away
Kick Off WE'RE BACK UNDERWAY: No changes at the break but expect to see the likes of Ox, Poldi and Walcott limbering up soon
Half Time That's your lot for now. Arsenal have gone close to an opener with Giroud hitting the bar, but a poor final ball has let them down. Norwich have been resilient but look there for the taking
45
ARTETA FREE-KICK: He lifts it towards the far post and it's headed away for a corner. Cazorla takes it... and Giroud's header is flicked wide
45
STOPPAGE TIME: We'll have two minutes of added time here at the Emirates
43
SNODGRASS DOWN: Arsenal play on after Giroud accidentally treads on Snodgrass' Achilles but the move comes to nothing - if it had, Norwich would be fuming
39
SHOOT! Frustration from the home fans as Cazorla opts for a one-two around the box instead of a shot. But Santi obliges with his next opportunity and that's straight at Bunn
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
"Norwich are reading the little one-twos around the box"
38
GIROUD BELOW PAR: His link-up play hasn't been as sharp as normal today - a few lay-offs have missed their target and it's cutting Arsenal's counter-attacks short
36
NORWICH CORNER: The visitors get a rare chance to threaten the Arsenal goal but the home side defend that well
34
Yellow Card Sagna goes into the book for holding back his opponent. He can't really complain about that
31
GIROUD GOES CLOSE: Giroud connects with Sagna's cross but his effort hits Bunn - the keeper didn't know too much about it
Top Comments:
@Uchenna90 on Twitter says:
Ramsey has been unreal so far #AFCvNCFC
29
GERVINHO CHANCE: Cazorla releases the Ivorian and he goes past Bunn, but the touch is too heavy and he squirms a shot wide from a narrow angle
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
"He knocked it around the goalkeeper but far too front of him"
28
OH, GERVINHO: Arsenal are four against three but Gervinho is dispossessed inside the box. Wasteful, and the home fans let him know about it
26
PRESSURE: Some neat passing around the edge of the box ends when Giroud's lay-off is misplaced. Cazorla looking the most likely to find a way through
23
OFF THE CROSSBAR: Sagna delays his cross and measures it perfectly for Giroud, whose flick header bounces off the top of the bar
Top Comments:
@dombrog on Twitter says:
That was a lovely bit of improvisation from Giroud there, he's looking lively today #AFCvNCFC
22
GERVINHO INTO THE BOX: Good forward-thinking pass from Arteta to Ramsey, who finds Gervinho. He gets past his man but can't pick out Giroud
21
NORWICH ATTACK: It might be the first time they've been into the Arsenal box but a handball brings that foray to a close
20
BUNN TO THE RESCUE: Norwich keeper Bunn races out of goal to grab the ball as Ramsey tries to latch onto Wilshere's deft flick
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
"Initially I thought Ramsey was offside. He just couldn't get on the end of it. That was good play by Arsenal"
17
PASS, PASS, PASS: Arsenal are enjoying lots of possession and are patiently probing away. Norwich's packed midfield is making life difficult
16
WEATHER REPORT: Sustained drizzle is falling in north London as Wilshere is flagged offside while getting a shot away that goes over
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn on Arsenal Player says:
"We've had one or two good opportunities in the first 15 minutes and will be looking to take one soon"
14
ANOTHER BREAK: This time Wilshere counter-attacks at pace but again he can't release the ball and Norwich survive
Top Comments:
@TJSlimings on Twitter says:
#AFCvNCFC Gibbs playing well like a left wig back
13
CAZORLA FREE-KICK: It's too far to go for goal so Santi lifts it into the box... Giroud can't win the header though
11
RAMSEY ASSURED: The Welshman is playing with confidence alongside Arteta, breaking forward to support the attack whenever he can
10
WONDERFUL PASS: Wilshere picks out Gibbs with a perfect pass inside the full back but the left back's cross is behind Giroud
Top Comments:
@kts_gunner on Twitter says:
Ohhh! What a pass from Jack to Gibbo =] #AFCvNCFC
8
TACTICS: Gervinho and Cazorla are switching wings to keep Norwich guessing
7
ARSENAL BREAK: Gervinho leads the charge after latching onto a wayward pass but he can't find Sagna and the move breaks down
5
GERVINHO ON THE MOVE: Excellent footwork from Gervinho as he evades two challenges and gets into the box. He's crowded out but promising signs from the Ivorian
Top Comments:
@ahmedyussuf10 on Twitter says:
Super run by Gervinho! #AFCvNCFC
3
POOR TOUCH: Arsenal cut Norwich open there on the right - they've attacked down that flank a lot in the opening minutes - but Gervinho could not control Sagna's pass
2
EARLY CORNER: Cazorla gets a chance to swing one into the box but it's a poor kick and is cleared at the near post
Kick Off WE'RE UNDERWAY: Arsenal will attack the Clock End goal in the first half. Come on you Gunners!
JACK'S BACK: Big cheer for Wilshere as he returns to the side in place of the injured Tomas Rosicky

Here comes the team news...
Arsene Wenger's side are firm favourites to make it seven wins out of eight in the Premier League today but, lest we forget, Norwich beat them 1-0 at Carrow Road earlier this season and drew 3-3 at Emirates Stadium last May
