Norwich will play host to Southampton in this Carabao Cup second round fixture at Carrow Road. Can the Canaries see off the Saints to qualify for the third round of the competition? Check out our prediction for the match below.
Norwich are grappling with mixed fortunes this season. The Canaries began their campaign with a disappointing 2-1 home defeat against Millwall in the Championship's opening weekend. However, they were able to bounce back in their next match, edging out Watford 2-1 away in the Carabao Cup first round.
Their most recent fixture ended in a 2-1 home loss against Middlesbrough. The onus is now on the Liam Manning-led side to avoid a second straight defeat and secure their place in the third round of the Carabao Cup.
Mateus Fernandes' 48th-minute strike was all Southampton needed to defeat Northampton at Sixfields Stadium and book their place in the Carabao Cup second round. This result marked their second straight victory after their Championship opening-day win versus Wrexham.
However, they have stumbled in their last two matches, failing to pick up a win in any of them. This includes a 2-1 defeat at home against Stoke City last weekend. The Southampton-based outfit will look to return to winning ways as they travel to face familiar foes, Norwich in this winner-takes-all fixture.
