There are 4 Premier League games to be played on Sunday afternoon, one of which takes place at Carrow Road as Norwich City host Manchester United.
As things stand ahead of the weekend fixtures, Norwich City find themselves in 19th place in the Premier League, which is the relegation zone. They have 7 points to their name but the visitors are only 3 points and 5 places above them in the league table.
Norwich City come into this game having Being held to a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth last weekend. Many fans thought this game would produce plenty of goals but in the end both teams cancelled each other out and could not find the back of the net.
That result means Norwich City have failed to win any of their last 4 Premier League matches. In addition to the draw at Bournemouth, Norwich City have lost at home to Aston Villa and away to Burnley and Crystal Palace. Norwich City have managed to score just one goal across their last 4 Premier League games as their attacking play has not been as strong as earlier in the season.
Trends show Norwich City have seen over 2.5 goals and both teams have scored in each of their 4 home Premier League matches this season. The Canaries are unbeaten in 12 of their last 14 home matches in all competitions and have scored 3 or more goals in 12 of their 20 most recent home games.

Manchester United travelled to Serbia on Thursday night to play Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League and came away with a 1-0 win. It was an important away victory for the Red Devils as they had failed to win any of their previous 11 away matches in all competitions.
Last time out in the Premier League, Manchester United faced rivals Liverpool at home and looked as though they were going to record a 1-0 win. However, Liverpool scored late in the game and the match finished level although Manchester United were the better team for much of the game and will take confidence from their performance.
Trends show Manchester United have failed to win any of their last 4 Premier League matches, losing at West Ham United and Newcastle United and drawing at home with Arsenal and Liverpool. Manchester United have failed to win any of their last 8 away Premier League games and have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 9 on the road.
Team news and Norwich City have three players on the treatment table with Christoph Zimmermann, Grant Hanley and Timm Klose all set to miss out. Mario Vrancic, Benjamin Godfrey and Ralf Fährmann are doubtful.
Manchester United travel without Eric Bailly who has a knee injury. Players including Luke Shaw, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba, Axel Tuanzebe and Diogo Dalot will be assessed closer to the time.
Both teams are looking to revive their Premier League campaign with a win in this match. Manchester United have shown some signs of improvement over the past week and if they continue in that way should win this game with both teams scoring.
