Crystal Palace are set to host Norwich City in their final outings of the year, both sides coming from disappointing results. Palace go to this game with 20 points, in 12th place while Norwich are still bottom of the table with 10 points from 20 matches. The hosts are coming from a 3-0 away loss at Tottenham Hotspur, a game that was dominated by poor preparation. They attempted to have it postponed due to positive covid tests as well as injuries but the league management rejected. It will be worse for them with Wilfred Zaha out of the Norwich game, following his red card against Spurs. That result against Spurs left them with one win in five matches and having failed to score in three of five matches. They have no clean sheet in the last five matches but are unbeaten in the last five meetings with Norwich.

There remains a possibility this game could be postponed but fact is the head to head stats here do not look so good for Norwich City. Crystal Palace are unbeaten in five meetings with Norwich, and the visitors here have their confidence really batter, coming from a 5-0 home loss to Arsenal. That was the fourth straight time Norwich failed to score and the third time in five that they’ve conceded two or more goals. In the last six matches, they’ve scored just one goal, and that was against a really weak Newcastle United side. This season Norwich have one of the poorest runs in the league, with just two wins so far and they’ve scored the least goals (eight). Norwich are winless in their last six matches and the few signs they showed of survival with back to back wins are all gone.
