An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Norwich City and Brighton & Hove Albion experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 20th and the visitors in 15th place.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Norwich City form and stats
Norwich City's struggle is real here at Carrow Road with only 15 points collected from 16 Premier League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 4-3-9. It's trouble wherever Norwich City are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Norwich manager D. Farke might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
J. Lewis was the last player to score a league goal for Norwich City and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Norwich haven't scored in 380 minutes.
Norwich faced defeat in their previous match, away at Arsenal (0-4). Preceding that match was a FA Cup defeat to Manchester United (after extra-time) (1-2).
As you see from the result above, Norwich City suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
There will be little rest for Norwich after this match as they are travelling to Watford for a Premier League game in only three days.
The Norwich City fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 19 in 16 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Norwich defense is not exactly impregnable. 30 goals conceded from 16 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
