The Canaries return to Carrow Road on the back of a 3-1 victory away to Charlton Athletic.
Philippe Clement’s side will be looking to build on their impressive win in the capital as they aim to put their recent run of poor form behind them and return to winning ways.
The Opposition
Watford head into this weekend’s clash sitting 21st in the table, one point below Norwich City.
The Hornets suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Wolves at Molineux, with Adam Armstrong scoring the decisive goal in the 35th minute.
Armstrong reacted quickest to a rebound following Kieran Trippier’s attempt on goal to secure all three points for Wolves.
Like the Canaries, Watford have struggled for consistency in recent weeks, recording just one win in their last five matches.
Previous Encounters
Norwich City’s most recent meeting with Watford ended in a 1-0 defeat at Carrow Road last December.
After a goalless 89 minutes, Vivaldo Semedo struck in the 90th minute to secure victory for the visitors, with his effort taking a deflection beyond Kovačević.
Despite the most recent result, the Canaries hold the advantage in the overall head-to-head record between the two sides.
