The fixtures keep on coming in the English Premier League and on Wednesday the 24th of June there is a crucial fixture between Norwich City and Everton at Carrow Road.
The hosts come into the game sitting bottom of the table on 21 points, which leaves them 6 points adrift of safety at the time of writing. Everton are in 12th place on 38 points but could realistically finish as high as 8th this season.
Norwich City resumed their Premier League campaign on Friday with a home match against Southampton. This is a match they would have marked as one of the games to win in order to avoid relegation this season but Norwich slumped to a disappointing 3-0 defeat. In terms of the Premier League, that result means Norwich City have lost 5 of their last 7 Premier League games.
Winning matches has been a real problem for Norwich City this season on trend show they have won only 2 of their last 17 Premier League games. The victories came against Bournemouth at home on the 18th of January and interestingly at Everton on the 23rd of November.
Norwich City have had problems at both ends of the pitch this season, scoring only 25 goals and conceding 55 goals, giving them by far the worst goal difference in the league. Norwich City have scored only 2 goals in their last 4 home Premier League games and have seen under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 at Carrow Road.
Everton restarted their season with a point at home against Liverpool on Sunday night. The Toffees would probably have taken a point if it was offered to them prior to the game but will believe they should have taking maximum points come the final whistle. Everton defended well and created the best chances to score but could not take them.
That result means Everton have failed with any of their last 4 Premier League matches. They have picked up just 2 points from the last 12 available, with a 1-1 draw at home against Manchester United in addition to the point against Liverpool. Away form shows Everton have won only one of their last 5 Premier League games with the victory coming at Watford on the 2nd of January.
However, trends show Everton have been scoring goals on the road and they have managed to find the back of the net in 10 of their last 11 away Premier League matches.
Team news and Norwich City still have four players unavailable due to injury with Christoph Zimmermann, Grant Hanley, Marco Stiepermann and Sam Byram on the treatment table.
Everton travel with a lengthy injury list of their own including Cenk Tosun, Fabian Delph, Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Theo Walcott and Yerry Mina. Djibril Sidibe remains a doubt due to a knock.
We expect to see both teams scoring in this game as Norwich City have little option but to attack and try and win the match. However, Everton have the superior quality and could win the game with over 2.5 goals scored.
