Norwich – Preston

Norwich host Preston in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the Canaries sitting 12th on 9 points after three wins and four defeats, their goal balance level at 13‑13. Preston languish near the foot of the table in 23rd place, having amassed just three points from a solitary win and six losses, leaving them with a -7 goal difference (6‑13). The gap of six points and a full nine places underscores Norwich’s clear advantage, while Preston will be desperate to close the widening divide. Both sides will be keen to improve their records, but the numbers suggest Norwich enter the fixture as the clear favorites.
