Arsenal lost 1-0 at Norwich back in October, but the Norfolk club will probably still need another six points to secure their top-flight status for a third campaign.Lee Camp is ready to deputise, having come off the bench against Swansea last weekend, while winger Anthony Pilkington should be available again after his hamstring injury.It is quite amazing what they (still) need because they took something like 22 points in that unbeaten run, but outside that period, they struggled," said Wenger.England goalkeeper John Ruddy will not yet be risked despite having continued his recovery from thigh surgery with 90 minutes in a development match on Monday.It is difficult to maintain that complete focus for 38 games and certainly when you are in full power and full confidence, things go a bit more for you than normal.Hughton masterminded a 1-0 victory at Arsenal when in charge of Newcastle in November 2010, secured via a goal from Andy Carroll.In the Premier League the difference is made on very, very little and when you just drop a fraction you can lose the games that you won before.I don't see anybody going to the Emirates with the form Arsenal are in and getting anything without having to play well.Wenger added: "Norwich will fight not to go down and that means you expect a full commitment, complete focus on defending well and catching us on the break.We will, though, have to be a threat ourselves, because you cannot defend for 90 minutes there, they are too good for that.We have to make sure we go into the game with the right focus and put them under pressure.
