Norwich City, Recent FormAny Norwich City pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-1 away defeat by Rotherham United. They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 17 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Rotherham United's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form at Carrow Road, having lost 3 of their last 6 home games and picking up only 2 wins.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Norwich City, Jonathan Rowe will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Stoke City, Recent FormWith Preston North End sitting a clear 14 places above them in the table, Stoke City won't feel totally dejected with their 2-0 home defeat by them last time out. They came away from that fixture with a 70% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 1 on target, in comparison to Preston North End, who managed 7 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 5, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 8 goals and some valuable points in the process. Not only have they failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, but they have also failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Stoke camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
On an individual basis, Ki-Jana Hoever will be looking to cause Norwich City some problems having scored 2 goals in Stoke City's last 6 away games in the league.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
In each of their last 5 games away from home in the league to Norwich, The Potters have scored at least 1 goal and will be looking to extend that run.
In the league, Norwich has a good track record when they host Stoke, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Norwich manager David Wagner has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Grant Hanley (Achilles tendon), Onel Hernández (Knee), Borja Sainz (Ankle), Josh Sargent (Ligament), Jacob Sørensen (Groin) and Jonathan Tomkinson (Ankle) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Lewis Baker (Unknown) and Emre Tezgel (Unknown) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Alex Neil will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
