Norwich City Preview – Can Norwich find home comforts?
Saturday’s hosts in this crucial relegation ‘six-pointer’, Norwich City, make their way into this encounter having failed to win any of their last 9 matches overall in the Premier League, so confidence isn’t likely to be sky-high for The Canaries.
Defeats to Southampton, Sheffield United, Wolves, Aston Villa and Manchester United have seen this disappointing campaign start to take its toll on the promoted side from last season’s Championship, and since their emphatic 3-2 win at home against Manchester City, Norwich have managed to register just 1 further win from their subsequent 17 matches overall.
An overall home record of 2-3-6 17/25 needs further improvement but results at Carrow Road continue to be Norwich’s best chance of attempting to avoid the drop this term. If Norwich can stem the tide of goals being conceded then they have a chance against Bournemouth here.
Bournemouth Preview – Can Bournemouth find their way again?
Second from bottom Bournemouth haven’t fared much better in recent times as The Cherries are now without a win in the top flight from their last 5 matches which have resulted in 4 defeats and 1 draw which has seen the south coast side slide down the table and into the relegation zone.
Losses to Burnley, Brighton, West Ham and Watford would have been a bitter disappointment o manager Eddie Howe and his players alike as they’d have backed themselves to get something out of these fixtures, while gaining a point in a 1-1 draw at home with Arsenal.
The worrying aspect for Bournemouth is that all four of those defeats were against teams situated in the lower reaches of the Premier League too, thus making this trip to face bottom club Norwich City a far from easy proposition.
In addition, Bournemouth have lost 6 of their last 8 matches away from home in the top flight, scoring 4 goals but conceding a total of 13 goals in reply during this period.
