After picking up a draw against the Foxes, the Lions are back against the Canaries, looking to return to winning ways. The Premier League clash, Aston Villa FC vs. Norwich City FC, kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 30, at Villa Park.

Relegation-threatened Norwich City were picked apart in a 3-0 defeat to Newcastle United at Carrow Road, courtesy of a brace from Joelinton (35' & 41') and Bruno Guimaraes (49'). The Yellows sit right at the bottom of the Premier League table, in 20th place, having only 21 points from 5W, 6D, and 22L. The Canaries will be looking to bounce back from back-to-back defeats, LDWLL, when they face the Lions at Villa Park. Despite being 10 points shy of safety, mathematically, Norwich still has a chance to beat the drop with five games left to play. However, their inability to win leaves them in a precarious situation and heading only one way: down. Norwich have gone winless in their last eight Premier League away games at Aston Villa [3D & 5L] since winning their first Premier League away game against the Lions in November 1992 (3-2). "We need to come back better next week to not give goals away [against Aston Villa]. Hopefully, we can then put in a performance at Villa Park," Dean Smith said after the loss to the Magpies. The 51-year-old pieced together a 4—2—3—1 against Newcastle with Pukki at the top of the shape. However, after the haul of three, a switch to the 4—4—2 with Pukki and Milot Rashica in attack is expected for Saturday's game.

After hitting back twice against the Red Devils, the Canaries are looking to pick up a win against the Magpies in another attempt to secure Premier League football at the end of the season. Norwich City vs. Newcastle United kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 23, at Carrow Road.

Norwich City saw their attempts to salvage a point against Manchester United thwarted by the sheer quality of Cristiano Ronaldo (7’, 32' & 36'), whose hat-trick separated both sides after Pukki’s 52nd-minute leveler. It was the third defeat in five games for the Yellows, LLDWL, who sit right at the bottom of the Premier League table, in 20th place, having 21 points after 5W, 6D, and 21L. Norwich are unbeaten in their last four Premier League games against Newcastle [W2 & 2D] and will be looking to draw inspiration from that four-game unbeaten run on Saturday. In addition, all five of Norwich’s Premier League wins against the Magpies have come in home games. A win here would see the Canaries pick up consecutive Premier League home wins for the first time since August 2019, as they hope to escape relegation. Norwich are sitting just eight points short of safety. Steve Bruce could line up the same 4—2—3—1 once again, with Teemu Pukki at the top of the shape following a promising display from his side against Manchester United. Meanwhile, the Yellows have no new major injury worries ahead of this weekend’s clash.

After a shocking defeat to the Toffees, which left Cristiano Ronaldo smashing an Everton fan's phone on his way to the tunnel, the Red Devils are back for another round of Premier League action against the Canaries. Manchester United vs. Norwich City kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 16, at Old Trafford.

Norwich City remain rooted to the bottom of the table in 20th place, having picked up 21 points from 5W, 6D, and 20L, following last weekend’s 2-0 victory over Burnley. - Their first win in five games, LLLDW. Norwich have picked up only one victory in their last 12 away games against Manchester United across all competitions [1W, 1D, & 10L], dating as far back as December 2015, but are looking to cause an upset against the Red Devils on Saturday. An unlikely win here could see the Canaries move into 19th place if Watford [22 points] fails to defeat Brentford on Saturday. Dean Smith could line up the 4—2—3—1 formation with Pukki in attack. Billy Gilmour and Josh Sargent are in doubt for this weekend's game, along with Adam Idah and Ozan Kabak.

After a shocking defeat to the Toffees, which left Cristiano Ronaldo smashing an Everton fan's phone on his way to the tunnel, the Red Devils are back for another round of Premier League action against the Canaries. Manchester United vs. Norwich City kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 16, at Old Trafford.

The relegation battle between Norwich City and Burnley FC kicks off at 14:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, April 10, at Carrow Road.

Relegation-threatened Norwich City picked up a goalless draw against Brighton & Hove Albion last weekend at the AMEX, leaving the Canaries without a win in five Premier League games, LLLLD, and in 20th place. Having picked up 18 points from 4W, 6D, and 20L, Norwich have failed to see improvements at both ends of the pitch, despite repeated calls by Dean Smith. In a pre-match interview ahead of the weekend's game, Dean Smith said, "We've got to be at our best [against Burnley]." The Canaries are left with a goal ratio of 0.6 goals per game this season, having scored only 18 goals in 30 Premier League games. The Yellows have the second-worst defense in the league, behind Leeds United [68 goals conceded], having shipped 63 goals over the course of the season, leaving the club with a G.D. of -45. - An average of 2.1 goals conceded per game. Norwich have lost at least 20+ matches in each of their last four Premier League seasons and are only the fourth side to do so in four consecutive seasons, but the first after Aston Villa last did so between 2013/14 and 2019/20. Dean Smith is expected to adopt a 4—3—1—2 formation against fellow relegation-threatened Clarets, with the attack led by Pukki and Milot Rashica. Adam Idah remains sidelined alongside three others, including Ozan Kabak and Joshua Sargent.

The Premier League returns following the international break with the Seagulls taking on the Canaries after the 2-0 loss to Spurs. Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Norwich City kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 2, at the AMEX.

Borrowing a leaf from the Seagulls' book, the Canaries are also on a run of five straight defeats: LLLLL, following the 2-1 loss to Leeds United just before the international break. They remain rooted at the bottom end of the Premier League table, in 20th place, and continue to look increasingly unlikely to beat the drop. For the third time in the current campaign, the Canaries are on a six-game losing streak in the Premier League. Norwich are now looking to avoid seven in a row, having last seen a septet of defeats which eventually extended to 10 in a row between March and July 2020. In addition, Norwich have lost their last two away league games against Brighton and are also looking to avoid three away defeats in a row to the Seagulls. Having only 17 points from 4W, 5D, and 20L, Dean Smith has been unable to steer the club out of the murky waters of relegation despite his best efforts, picking up only five victories in 21 appearances for the club [5W, 3D, 13L], a 24%-win rate. The 51-year-old could line up the 4—3—3 with Teemu Pukki at the center of the attacking trio once again.

Following Thursday’s embarrassing defeat to the Lions, the Peacocks take on the Canaries in this weekend’s episode of another relegation battle. The Premier League fixture, Leeds United vs. Norwich City, kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, March 13, at Elland Road.

The Canaries picked up a 3-1 defeat to Chelsea on Thursday at home and remain at the bottom of the table in 20th place, having 17 points from 4W, 5D, & 19L. Mirroring Leeds’ form, the Yellows are also coming off the back of five defeats in a row, LLLLL. Currently, in a state of denial, Norwich's manager, Dean Smith, believes the second-half performance against Chelsea gives his side some hope to beat the drop as he heads into this weekend’s fixture. The 50-year-old lined up a defensive 5—3—2 against Chelsea, but that also failed to produce any inspiring outcome. A switch to the 4—3—3 appears to be on the horizon for Norwich against the Peacocks this weekend.

The Canaries travel ahead in time to take on the Blues for size in this match-of-the-future originally slated for Matchday 30. Norwich City vs. Chelsea FC kicks off at 20:30 (GMT+1) on Thursday, March 10, at Carrow Road. The game was previously billed to take place on Saturday, March 19, but with Chelsea progressing into the FA Cup quarter-finals, it was rescheduled to an earlier date.

A hat-trick from Ivan Toney (32’, 52’ P, & 58’ P), aided by a brace from the penalty spot, left Norwich City with a 3-1 loss to Brentford and with four defeats in a row, DLLLL, despite pulling one back through Teemu Pukki (90’+2). "I'm disappointed with the outcome," a worried Dean Smith said in his post-match press conference as reality began to set in that Norwich would fail to beat the drop should the defeats continue to stack up. With a torrid form that leaves the Yellows without a win in five games, an outright victory over Chelsea would be akin to an episode of 'Mission Impossible'. In more disheartening news for the club's fans, the Canaries have recorded only one victory in 29 mid-week games in the Premier League [1W, 8D, & 20L]. Furthermore, Norwich have not won in their last eight games against any reigning European champion since 1982, and the club has a 0%-win rate against the Blues in 13 league meetings since 1994. Norwich sits at the very bottom of the table in 20th place, having picked up 17 points after 4W, 5D, & 18L. Dean Smith continues to choose an attacking shape, despite failing to fix the second-worst defense in the Premier League, which has seen the club ship 58 goals in 27 appearances. On Thursday, a 4—3—3 formation with Pukki at the center of the attacking trio is expected against Chelsea.

The Premier League fixture, Norwich City vs. Brentford F.C., kicks off at 16:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, March 5, at the Brentford Community Stadium.

Norwich suffered a 2-1 defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday in the 5th round of the FA Cup. Back on Premier League soil, Norwich picked up a 2-0 defeat to Southampton last Friday at the St. Mary’s Stadium. The Canaries had weathered the storm for a major portion of the first half, before Che Adams (36’) struck, leaving the Saints in the lead minutes before the break. The Yellows had failed to convert a huge chance before a superb volley from Oriol Romeu (88’) left them with a two-goal deficit at full-time. Following the 2-0 loss, the Canaries stepped closer to the brink of relegation, having picked up three defeats in a row: WDLLL. Having only 17 points from 4W, 5D, & 17L, coupled with a goal difference of -40, Norwich continues to slide towards the point of no return as the relegation battle heats up at the bottom end of the table. With 0.5 GPG and 2.11 GCPG, the numbers tell a clear story; Norwich are poor at both ends of the pitch, having shipped 55 goals while hitting the back of the net only 15 times in 26 appearances. Dean Smith must fix the Premier League’s second leakiest defense, behind Leeds United [60 goals conceded], to see his side keep playing Premier League football at the end of the season. For this game against Brentford, Dean Smith could appear with the conventional 4—4—2 formation, having Pukki and Sargent in attack.
