The Magpies were once in danger of relegation, but they are now 15 points above the bottom three. Newcastle will play Premier League football next season and could fight for Europe once they put their large amount of cash to use.
Newcastle picked up nine points from the last 18 points on offer in the league. Goals have still been an issue for the Magpies as just five were scored across the last six matches. Newcastle’s defence allowed eight goals in the last six matches.
Norwich City took four points from the last 18 points on offer in the division. The Canaries were outscored 11-7 across the last six fixtures in the Premier League.
The Canaries are unbeaten in the last four league matches versus Newcastle. Norwich City posted a record of 1W-3D-0L across the last four matches against the Magpies.
The reverse fixture at St. James’ Park finished 1-1 as Norwich City scored a late equaliser to get a draw. Newcastle United’s Ciaran Clark was sent off in the ninth minute to reduce the team to 10 men.
After a scoreless first half, Callum Wilson scored on 61 minutes to put Newcastle into the lead. Teemu Pukki levelled the score on 79 minutes.
Norwich City have collected a mere 12 points at Carrow Road this season. They have a 3W-3D-10L record at home with 12 goals for and 31 against.
Newcastle have 13 away points this season and a record of 3W-4D-9L. Despite the team’s improved form, Eddie Howe’s men have lost three straight away games. The Magpies have scored 13 goals and conceded 29 goals on the road this term.
Dean Smith could be without up to four players. Josh Sargent is a major doubt due to an ankle injury. Meanwhile, Adam Idah, Andrew Omobamidele, and Ozan Kabak are all ruled out for this weekend’s match.
Newcastle coach Howe will be without Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson due to injury. In addition, Isaac Hayden, Ryan Fraser, and Jamal Lewis are set to miss the fixture.
The Magpies are playing well in the league and should once again put in a strong performance. They have struggled on the road this season and lost each of their last three away games. Can Norwich City get vital points in the relegation battle?
