    NORWICH CITY 1 - 0 SWANSEA CITY
    Howson 70'
    FT 90'+6'
    HT 0 - 0

    Date: Saturday 7th November 2015
    Venue: Carrow Road
    Kick-Off: 03:00PM

    The Canaries go into this fixture on the back of a run of four consecutive defeats as they welcome a Swansea side who are also struggling for form.
    Norwich have gone six games without a victory overall, having failed to pick up three points since the visit of Bournemouth in mid-September.
    Scoring goals has not been a problem for the Canaries though – they have scored as many as Manchester United – but they have been failing to keep them out at the other end; they are the only team yet to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League this season.
    They came close to a point at Manchester City last time out, but some late indiscipline saw them on the end of another defeat, which left them just two points above the bottom three.
    Swansea could be ideal opposition if recent history is anything to go by; the East Anglian side have lost just one of their last 15 games against the Welsh club.
    The Swans have faded after a bright start and collected just one win in their past seven games. Last weekend saw the Welsh outfit put to the sword by Arsenal at the Liberty Stadium.
    Bafetimbi Gomis’ form has matched that of his team; the Frenchman scored in each of his first four matches this season but – to the disappointment of fantasy football managers who were taken in by his bright start – has failed to find the net since.
    Garry Monk’s side have never won at Norwich in the Premier League, and will need that record to be broken this weekend if they are to avoid being dragged into a fight at the wrong end of the table.

    Wisdom and O'Neil starting? If anyone predicted that I'll be impressed!

    So is this going to be 5 at the back again, with Wisdom CB, Brady RB, or a more conventional 4-2-3-1, with Wisdom RB and Brady on the left of midfield?

    Edit: And just as I type it, the Coral graphic appears on twitter, suggesting 4-2-3-1.

    Tettey is captain, which might be a first for him?

    I was hoping Wisdom started and not Whittaker, but surprising Mulumbu is on the bench.

    Well that's a turn up for the books. Few surprises here for sure. Looks like some of AN's previously held views about players are starting to change.

    No Redmond anywhere in sight?
    Maybe Jurgen Klopp has been on the phone :emoticon-0112-wonde

    You won't get good odds on him not scoring again though :emoticon-0105-wink:

    On our current form I think you'll turn us over if you score first. Hoping for a draw.
