Norwich City have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-2-7 (11 played).

Norwich City play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Watford. Midfielder Sargent was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.24. Sargent scored two goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 3 of 3 times.

A quick return to home after this game, as Norwich City are hosting Crystal Palace in the Premier League only four days away.
