Norwich City, Recent FormThe 3-1 away defeat to Sunderland will not have sat easily with the Norwich City squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 37%, while racking up 9 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target, in contrast to Sunderland, who had 17 shots on goal with 8 on target.
It's fair to say that manager David Wagner will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 8 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 11 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 13 of their 14 games this season.
Results have been poor for Norwich recently, with 4 losses and only 1 win from their last 6 league games their current form is not going to help them move up the table.
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.
Blackburn Rovers, Recent FormThe Blackburn Rovers players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Swansea City recently, that ended in a 1-0 defeat. In that game they recorded 59 % of the possession, with 20 attempts on goal, 7 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 16 shots on goal.
Manager Jon Dahl Tomasson will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 8 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games.
It's been mixed fortunes for Blackburn away from home recently, having won 3 and lost 3 of their last 6 games on the road.
On an individual basis, Sammie Szmodics will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 7 goals in Blackburn Rovers' 14 league games this season.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 0-2 win for Norwich City.
The Norwich defence has struggled in front of its own fans when The Riversiders have come to town, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 11 meetings at Carrow Road.
Norwich manager David Wagner has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ashley Barnes (Leg), Angus Gunn (Muscle), Grant Hanley (Achilles tendon), Josh Sargent (Ligament) and Jacob Sørensen (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Jon Dahl Tomasson has a number of injury concerns in his Blackburn squad to contend with: Sam Gallagher (Tendon), Ryan Hedges (Hamstring), Aynsley Pears (Foot) and Lewis Travis (Calf)
