Norwich City were never promised an easy welcome back to the Premier League, and they’ve seen it in their opening two league games. They will host Leicester City on Match Day 3, seeking their first points of the new campaign after their promotion. Meanwhile, Leicester, who have one win in two, will be looking to bounce back after losing to West Ham United. Norwich had the best preps for this game with a 6-0 win over Bournemouth in the League Cup and having avoided defeat in their last two meetings with Leicester, they’ll get here very confident. The three losses they have in the last five matches have all come against Premier League teams, and two wins against teams not in the topflight. A tough start to the season is occasioned by the kind of fixtures they’ve had, and they can’t be faulted a lot for conceding eight in the opening two games. They’ve failed to score in three of their last four matches and it hasn’t been easy at home too in the Premier League, dating back to the season they were relegated. Norwich have no win or goal in their last six league matches at home. In their last eight Premier League matches at home, they’ve scored one goal, and that was in a win over Leicester City. It is also their only clean sheet so far, in eight league games at home.

Leicester City are well rested, having had no midweek engagements, and will be eyeing recovery from the 4-1 loss to West Ham United. They have three wins in the last four matches and get here on a strong footing. While they are winless in the last two meetings with Norwich, Leicester have managed three wins in the last five. They go into this game having scored in all their last five matches, among them a 1-0 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield. However, they will miss Ayoze Perez in this game, after his red card against West Ham. Leicester haven’t had the best of runs in the Premier League lately – in the last five matches, they’ve lost three, though these have been against much stronger opponents. Even when losing, Leicester have managed to score in all five league matches.
