Norwich City, Recent FormNorwich City had to settle for a share of the spoils in their last match, which ran out a 1-1 draw against Reading. In that game they had 58% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Reading who had 11 attempts and 4 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 6 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 8 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. Having failed to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 matches, they definitely have some defensive problems to resolve at the moment.
With 3 defeats and just 1 win from their last 6 home league games at Carrow Road, it's clear they are not having a good run of home form at the moment.
Aaron Ramsey will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Norwich City.
Watford, Recent FormWatford manager Slaven Bilić will need to rebuild confidence in his squad after their heavy 4-0 away defeat by Swansea City. They came away from that fixture with a 36% share of the possession and clocked up 4 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Swansea City, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 6, and leading to valuable points being dropped. There are concerning signs for them, having failed to score in 4 of their last 6 league games. With 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches, they are proving that they are not easy to defeat.
It's been a mixed run of form for Watford recently with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, João Pedro will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Watford's last 6 league games.
It was not a positive ending for Norwich City last time they met Watford in the league, with the game ending in a 2-1 defeat.
