Norwich v Watford. Muñoz's Hornets head to East Anglia after three losses on the bounce. On the other hand, Norwich haven't registered a point in the league, losing 0-3 to Liverpool, 5-0 to Citeeey, 1-2 to the Foxes, and most recently, 1-0 to Arsenal. We thought we'd had an indifferent start! Nevertheless, our opening day win seems a while back now. Muñoz was incredible in the Championship, just amazing. However, a loss despite a good performance against Spurs, followed by a loss to Brighton and most recently at home to Wolves have shown how tough the Prem can be. The lack of chances created is also a cause for concern. Goals win games and we haven't really looked like scoring in the last 3. Hopefully this will all change on Saturday as for the newly formed midfield and attack the honeymoon period is coming to a close and the reality of the Prem is kicking in. I'd go for a chance in formation to get a bit more protection for the back and more support for the striker. I've put the newbies in bold just to show how much our starting 11 has changed since last season. -----------Bachmann Nagakia - TE - FS - Rose ------Etebo------Kucka----- Sarr------Sissoko----Dennis ---------------King------------- TEAM NEWS TO FOLLOW: ¡¡ COYH COYH COYH !!
Watford could be handed a boost this weekend with the return of Kiko Femenia. The full back has returned to full team training this week and the club say he will be assessed ahead of the trip to Norwich City. Also back in full training is goalkeeper Ben Foster, who has recovered from a hamstring injury. However, striker Joao Pedro will still be unavailable for the game at Carrow Road, despite also being training with the team once again.
I think I've said this before - "he will be assessed ahead of" is Watford FC code for "not this week, maybe next week". I'll be very surprised to see his name on the teamsheet before the Newcastle match.

Definitely one both teams will look to win so probably a draw ! Need to perform like we did in the first half v Wolves and certainly not the 2nd!
Well as some Norwich fans have said if we win it won't look too good for them. We lose and I am sure many will be calling for Munoz to be sacked (some already are) - then complain when the outer media like Lineker take the mick out of us! Suppose if we do lose the next 2/3 games it will show we are probably out of our depth but not sure changing the manager is the answer.
It is definitely not the answer. I do understand that we don’t have conventional managers, but head coaches. I get that. But we must hold on to a decent head coach when we have one, and I think Muñoz is more than decent.
Good 'backup' to have, IMHO I think Foster will serve us better in the coming matches and provide a bit more leadership and organisation at the back
