Norwich City, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 6-2 away defeat by Plymouth Argyle, Norwich City manager David Wagner will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. During that encounter they had 69% possession and had 11 attempts on goal with 6 on target, while their opponents hit 9 of their 15 shots on goal.
It seems pretty certain that Wagner will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 11 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 11 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Carrow Road.
In terms of results, it's been a bit of a mixed bag for Norwich recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games.
Josh Sargent will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Norwich City.
Birmingham City, Recent FormBirmingham City manager John Eustace will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Queens Park Rangers. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Queens Park Rangers' tally of 8 efforts at goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that Eustace will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 6 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 6 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Birmingham City, Lukas Jutkiewicz will be looking to add more goals against Norwich City in this match.
It was not a positive ending for Birmingham City last time they met Norwich City in the league, with the game ending in a 3-1 defeat.
Norwich will be confident of finding the net in this one against The Blues, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 9 encounters between the two sides.
Norwich has had a good run of league results at home to Birmingham, winning their last 5 meetings and being unbeaten in their last 9.
Norwich manager David Wagner has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Grant Hanley (Achilles tendon), Marcelino Núñez (Ankle), Borja Sainz (Ankle), Josh Sargent (Ligament) and Jacob Sørensen (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
John Eustace has a number of injury concerns in his Birmingham squad to contend with: George Hall (Hamstring), Ethan Laird (Hamstring) and Tyler Roberts (Calf)
