Norwich – Bolton

Norwich host Bolton in what promises to be a crucial clash at Carrow Road, with the Canaries sitting 12th on 9 points after three wins and four defeats, their goal difference exactly balanced at 13‑13. Bolton, languishing at the bottom in 20th place with just seven points from two victories, a draw and four losses, trail by a further three points and carry a –5 deficit on the scoresheet (7‑12). The two sides have not met this season, so both will be eager to use the encounter to swing the momentum in their favour and climb out of the relegation zone. A win for Norwich would solidify their mid‑table push, while Bolton will need all three points to keep any hope of escaping the drop.
