Norwich City are heading back to the Championship unless they can greatly improve their form. They remain bottom of the Premier League and host Everton who are in 12th but could yet qualify for the Europa League. Norwich lost 3-0 at home to Southampton on Friday and ended the weekend six points from safety with eight games to play. They have an inferior goal difference so really it's a seven point deficit. The big question is where are those points going to come from?  Norwich have only won five league games all season and one in the last five. Four of their victories have come at Carrow Road but more have been needed if they want to stay in the league. A few goals from top scorer Teemu Pukki would be handy but his last goal for the Canaries was in January. That explains why City have only scored in one of their last six league games.

Everton drew 0-0 with Liverpool on Sunday and remained 12th in the table. They are eight points behind sixth position but seventh could yet be good enough to get then into the Europa League and there's a six point gap to make up on that position at the time of writing this preview. The problem Everton have is that their away form is poor. Only three out of 15 away league games have been won this season and nine have ended in defeat. Only two of the last nine have been won and their last three away games have seen nine goals conceded. 31 have been let in overall and this is a side that just can't stop conceding ont their league travels. Each of their last 14 away league fixtures has seen them concede a goal and both teams have scored in 10 of their last 11 on the road. Norwich have to start winning or they really are doomed. Up against a team that have a poor record and one that Norwich have beaten this season, go for both teams to score.
