It's a desperate time for bottom-of-the-table Norwich City who start the weekend eight points from safety. They host Bournemouth who have sunk to 19th in the league and are six points clear of their opponents. Norwich lost 4-0 at Old Trafford last weekend and that made it nine league games without a league win. They just have to get something from this relegation battle as they have three of their next five games away from home and the two at Carrow Road are against Liverpool and Leicester City. Norwich won two of their first three home league games, including that famous win over Manchester City in mid-September. They just haven't been able to build on that early season home form and have gone eight league games at Carrow Road without a victory. Every single home league match this season has seen both teams score bar a 2-0 defeat by Watford.

Bournemouth are in terrible trouble too with an appalling run of form. They were in the top four at one stage this season but it's all gone wrong since then. The Cherries have been ripe for picking with only two wins from their last sixteen league games. Those victories were against Manchester United and Chelsea though, so on their day they can still get good results. Trouble is those days come around rather infrequently. Their last three league matches have all been lost with nine goals conceded but they now have an important run of games against Norwich, Brighton and Aston Villa. Points need to be earned against those fellow relegation strugglers. Between them, these two sides have let in 80 goals. Go for both teams to score in this match.
