Norwich City are back on home soil on Saturday as we prepare to host West Brom at Carrow Road on for a 3pm kick-off.

After Wednesday evening’s 3-2 win against Bristol City, the Canaries remain second place in the Sky Bet Championship, just one point behind frontrunners Sheffield United.

We’ll be looking to maintain our winning streak, having won our last six matches.

The opposition

The Baggies have had an unsteady start to the season, facing six draws and two losses in their first nine fixtures.  

Steve Bruce’s side took three points from Hull City in a 5-2 result at the Hawthorns, which has been their only win so far this season.

The Baggies drew their next three matches against Huddersfield, Wigan Athletic, and Burnley, with a last-minute goal in the 98th minute preventing Burnley from taking all three points.

A 3-2 loss against Birmingham at home on Wednesday evening leaves them sitting in 20th place in the table, ten points behind Norwich.

Head-to-head

The two sides have met 64 times since 1907, resulting in 21 wins for the Yellows, 27 victories for the West Brom, and the remaining 16 games ending in draws.

The last time our visitors came to visit Carrow Road was in August 2018, ending in 4-3 win for the Baggies. Goals from Jordan Rhodes, Teemu Pukki and Grant Hanley weren't enough to claim Championship points.
