Norwich City, Recent FormLast time out for Norwich City resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Reading in a match they really wanted to win. Their share of possession in that meeting was 65%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Reading, who had 10 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Manager Dean Smith will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 11 games. Smith will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 9 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Josh Sargent will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Carrow Road having scored 5 goals in Norwich City's last 6 home games in the league.
Preston North End, Recent FormLast time out, Preston North End went away feeling content after the match with a 1-0 home win against Burnley. During that encounter they recorded 35% of the possession and had 9 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 5 of their 18 shots on goal.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 8 points. When on their travels they are proving difficult to break down, with an outstanding run of 5 clean sheets in a row, away from home. This season they have struggled with consistency in front of goal, failing to score in 8 of their 12 league games.
Their unbeaten run away from home now sits at 6 games in a row.
Emil Riis Jakobsen will be hoping to create problems for Norwich City in this one, having scored 2 goals in his last 6 outings on the road for Preston North End.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Norwich have scored in each of their last 4 league meetings with The Lilywhites.
This match has run out a draw on the previous 2 encounters between these sides in the league; however, Preston may have a slight edge with them currently enjoying a 3 match unbeaten streak against their opponents.
Norwich manager Dean Smith has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Dimitrios Giannoulis (Ligament), Isaac Hayden (Knee), Adam Idah (Knee), Sam McCallum (Broken foot), Jonathan Rowe (Shin) and Jacob Sørensen (Sprained ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Without any real injury worries ahead of this clash, Preston manager Ryan Lowe will be happy to have a full squad to pick from to help execute his game plan.
