Norwich City, Recent FormNorwich City will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 2-1 winners in their away fixture against Bristol City. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Bristol City's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
Their boss David Wagner is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 12 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 10 goals scored. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 18 of their 19 games this season.
They're experiencing a very poor spell of form at Carrow Road, having lost 4 of their last 6 home 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.
Preston North End, Recent FormAny Preston North End pre-match expectations for their last outing were misplaced, after an unexpected 2-0 home defeat by Queens Park Rangers. Their share of possession in that meeting was 55%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Queens Park Rangers had 8 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Supremo Ryan Lowe will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 6 goals they've managed to net. They have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 14 games.
Losing 4 of their last 6 games will be causing some concern in the Preston camp, but their 2 wins salvaged some valuable points.
On an individual basis, Milutin Osmajić will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Preston North End's last 6 league games.
Preston North End will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Norwich City, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 0-4 defeat.
Norwich will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 6 encounters with The Lilywhites.
Norwich manager David Wagner has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ben Gibson (Metatarsal fracture), Grant Hanley (Achilles tendon), Ui-jo Hwang (Hamstring), Josh Sargent (Ligament) and Jacob Sørensen (Groin) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Preston manager Ryan Lowe ahead of this clash, with Emil Riis (Cruciate ligament) missing out, which gives Lowe a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
