Burnley F.C vs. Norwich City Match Preview

Giant killers Norwich City will face Burnley in their next Premier League match fixture.

The Canaries produced a shock win over Premier League champions Manchester City and will be hoping to get their third win of the 2018-19 Premier League season.

Daniel Farke’s lads travel to Turf Moor where they play Burnley. The Canaries produced a stunning display to get a surprising win over Premier League champions Manchester City last week. The hosts have failed to record a win in any of their previous four Premier League fixtures including a draw in their game against Brighton and Hove Albion last week.

The Clarets are placed 14th on the Premier League log and are just a point above the relegation zone. Burnley gaffer Sean Dyche will be hoping his side can win this one against newly promoted Norwich City, especially in front of their home supporters at Turf Moor.

 

TEAM NEWS

Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson is back in training for the Clarets after sustaining a Calf injury. Sean Dyche is expected to select the same Xi that started in the Brighton game last week.

Norwich City is still without all of their long-term injury victims, although forward Patrick John Joseph is expected back in the squad after being unable to play against parent club Manchester City. Canaries gaffer Daniel Farke is supposed to keep faith in the same starting Xi that produced the surprise win over Manchester City.
