Norwich City Preview – Canaries to see off sorry Rams at Carrow Road
Norwich City are still recovering from an abysmal season in the Premier League. The Canaries won just five league matches to finish rock bottom of the top-tier table on 21 points. Along the way, Daniel Farke’s boys shipped a staggering 75 goals.
Norwich do not plan on being in the Championship for long, although they have made an indifferent start to their 2020-21 season. City kicked off their league campaign with a 1-0 away win at Huddersfield Town, which they followed up with a 2-2 draw with Preston North End at Carrow Road.
Last time out, Norwich fell to their first league defeat of the season, losing 1-0 to Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. The Canaries also lost to Luton Town in the first round of the Carabao Cup a month ago.
After last Sunday’s reverse, Norwich will be desperate to get back to winning ways on Saturday. Will City be too strong for struggling Derby at Carrow Road?
Derby County Preview – Cocu’s men to crash to a fifth successive league and cup defeat?
Derby County have had a miserable season so far. Phillip Cocu’s men have lost all three of their Championship matches, falling to defeats to Reading, Luton and Blackburn Rovers.
The Rams were particularly poor against Tony Mowbray’s Blackburn last weekend, losing 4-0 at Pride Park. Cocu’s boys were dreadful, as the away team went 3-0 up after just 15 minutes. County were also beaten by fellow Championship side Luton in the Carabao Cup.
