Matchday | Norwich City v Swansea City

Norwich City welcome Swansea City to Carrow Road on Saturday, January 25, in the Sky Bet Championship (KO 12.30pm).

After taking 10 points from four fixtures after Christmas, the Canaries lose twice on the road to Sheffield United and Leeds United.

Johannes Hoff Thorup will be hoping his team can maximise their return with four home games in the next six.

The Opposition

Swansea have had a similar season to Norwich this year, with just a couple of points separating the two sides in the Championship table.

Luke Williams' side fell to a 2-1 defeat against Sheffield United on Tuesday night. The Blades coming from behind in south Wales to secure the three points.

As it was when Norwich went to Bramall Lane last weekend, the vital goal came from a Harrison Burrows spot-kick midway through the second half.

That makes them without victory in four league games.

Foundation Support Hub

The Community Sports Foundation's 'Healthy Fans' programme officially kicks off with the launch of the Fans’ Support Hub on Saturday.

With rates of drug and alcohol misuse, smoking and mental health issues exceeding the national average, according to Norfolk Data Insights, the Healthy Fans programme looks to directly address these concerns by creating accessible pathways to better health for Norwich City fans.

Operating from two key locations around the stadium - a permanent space in the Ticket Office corner of the River End and an all-new wellbeing van parked outside the ground for both men’s and women’s fixtures - fans will have access to valuable support.

Look out for the mobile van or visit the hub at Carrow Road on matchdays to find out how you can benefit from the programme.
