Norwich City Preview – Can the Canaries pick up first Premier League point?
Norwich City have been the yo-yo club in recent years, but they are back in the big time after winning the EFL Championship last term. Can they last more than one season in the top tier this time around?
Norwich have started their 2021-22 Premier League campaign with two heavy defeats. However, the Canaries have had the toughest start out of any Premier League club. On the opening weekend, City were beaten 3-0 at home by Liverpool, which they followed up with a 5-0 reverse to Premier League champions Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last weekend.
In midweek, Farke’s boys put in a stunning performance in the EFL Cup. Goals from Christos Tzolis (2), Joshua Sargent (2), Kenny McLean and Lukas Rupp gave Norwich a thumping 6-0 home win over Scott Parker’s Bournemouth. Can the Canaries follow that with three points in the league on Saturday?
Leicester City Preview – Foxes to get back to winning ways?
Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City kicked off their season with a win over Man City at Wembley in the FA Community Shield. They then beat Midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 at the King Power Stadium on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.
Leicester were brought back down to earth with a bang on Monday, though, as ten-man City were beaten 4-1 at West Ham. They were just 1-0 down when Ayoze Perez was sent off, but the Hammers took the game away from the Foxes with two late Michail Antonio goals.
