For some time now, the Norwich City ‘dream’ has been slowly eroding into a minor nightmare. Norwich have a pretty shocking record against Manchester United, too, having lost three of the last four games to them 4-0. With a poor run of form that is now beginning to stretch far beyond what many would have expected, can the Canaries sing when they really need to get a tune?
Norwich City news
The canary is almost certainly beginning to sing down the coalmine for the Premier League’s most exciting newcomers. Poor performances are beginning to stack, and 21 goals conceded by late October makes for worrying reading. They’ve lost four of their last six, and look in pretty poor form.
Since they bested Manchester City, the club has been on a steady spiral of poor results. Six losses so far is already a concern, and Daniel Farke must quietly be getting concerned.
Manchester United News
Thankfully for Norwich, their big-name opponents aren’t in much better condition. The Red Devils are on a similar run of just one win in their last six, though they have only lost two in that time. With both teams sitting on a paltry two wins, and just 10 goals scored, United at least can say they have conceded only the 9.
For United, it’s likely to be a big change-up from the team that frustrated Liverpool so well. They will be expected to come out and play this time; can they do that, though?
Verdict
United win – but only just. Norwich simply lose too many goals and spend far too long in games under pressure. Silly mistakes and daft errors are commonplace in both teams, but we think that United will make the least crucial mistakes in this one – meaning they should get the three points.
