MATCH PREVIEW

MAIN PREDICTION: AWAY WIN

 

Watford struggled in front of goal once again last weekend as they slipped to a 2-0 defeat away from home against a mid-table Huddersfield side. The home side remain in the playoff places, but that defeat proved to be enough for the Watford board as they sacked manager Vladimir Ivic, replacing him with the inexperienced Xisco Munoz.

 

Norwich jumped another hurdle last weekend as they eased to a 2-0 home victory against Cardiff. Daniel Farke’s side boast some of the best attacking talent in the league in Emi Buendia and Teemu Pukki and are flying clear at the top of the table.

 

Norwich have won five consecutive league games ahead of kick-off here and there is little to suggest that run will end here.

 

HEAD TO HEAD

Watford have won back-to-back league games against Norwich, but this game comes in tougher circumstances.
