Norwich City form and stats

Norwich City's results here at Carrow Road in the Premier League have been very modest with 3 victories, 3 draws and 7 defeats.

Norwich City are anxiously hoping for a goal as it's been 290 minutes since the last one in league fixtures. (Scored by T. Pukki).

The fans are hoping that Norwich City will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Premier League game against Wolverhampton Wanderers (placed 8th). Ahead of that match, Norwich City lost 0-1 at home to Liverpool.

Norwich City are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 13 games. Norwich City are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (26 from 13 played).

Leicester City form and stats

The visitors are W7-D2-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League.

Leicester City are looking to quickly end their 206 minutes long goal drought in the Premier League.

Home advantage was not enough for Leicester City in their previous game, as they lost their Premier League-match, hosting Manchester City, 0-1. Before that, Leicester City travelled to Wolverhampton Wanderers and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.

It's a bit worrying for Leicester City that their goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel made six saves in the Manchester City game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.

Leicester City have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 28 goals from 13 away matches. It's not easy to score on Leicester City as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Leicester City - Norwich City 1-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: four - two - four (Norwich City wins - draws - Leicester City wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
