Norwich – Blackburn

Match analysis

Norwich host Blackburn in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture, with the Canaries sitting 12th on nine points after three wins and four defeats, their goal difference balanced at zero (13‑13). Blackburn sit three places below them, holding eight points from two victories, two draws and three losses, also level on goal difference (10‑10). Both sides have struggled for consistency, and the clash could prove decisive for Norwich’s push to climb out of the lower mid‑table, while Blackburn will be eager to close the gap to the safety zone. Their recent head‑to‑head record suggests a narrow margin, making a point in Carrow Road a realistic aim for either side.
