Jenkinson wants more Arsenal away wins

Carl Jenkinson expects Arsenal to improve their away form this season after their 5-3 victory at Stamford Bridge in October.

The win against Chelsea was the Gunners first away league victory this season, and Jenkinson believes there will be an improvement ahead of Saturday’s trip to Carrow Road to play Norwich City.

“The Chelsea win was a big pick-up for us,” Jenkinson told Arsenal Player.

“It was nice because we know what we are capable of.”

“Not many teams have gone to Stamford Bridge and scored five goals and after that win I think our away form will go from strength to strength.”

“Norwich are doing well and from what I’ve seen their home form has been good as well.”

“They are obviously a good side so no-one will be going there thinking it will be anything other than a difficult game.”

“We’ve got to make sure we are fully focused because it’s going to be a battle. We won’t be taking anything for granted but hopefully we can go there and get a good result.”

Arsenal beat West Brom 3-0 before the international break, and Jenkinson says it was important to secure three points ahead of two weeks without a fixture.

“It just makes your life a whole lot more pleasant,” he said.

“When you lose it takes a lot out of you and two weeks is a long time to dwell on a defeat, so it was really important to get a good result against West Brom.”

“Everyone went away with a positive mindset compared to when you draw or lose. I think it was vital we got that, now everyone is feeling positive.”

“Hopefully everyone will come back without any injuries and we’ll be ready to crack on against Norwich.”
