Canaries youngsters on the road this weekend
NORWICH City Under-18s travel to face their Fulham counterparts at Motspur Park on Saturday (12pm) looking for their first win of 2015.Both sides will be aiming to improve their fortunes, having each been convincingly beaten by high-flying Aston Villa in their most recent matches.
City hosted Fulham at Colney Training Centre in September, with the Cottagers securing a narrow 2-1 win despite an impressive performance from the hosts.
Fulham took a two-goal lead into the interval, with the Canaries unable to salvage a result from the game despite Todd Cantwell converting from a Louis Ramsay cross.
