Norwich v Preston

Norwich v Preston Preview

Norwich City were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw at home by lowly Derby County in the Championship on the weekend but nevertheless, The Canaries have now extended their unbeaten run in the English second tier to three games overall and the upcoming hosts now find themselves just two points shy of the play-off pack ahead of these midweek fixtures.

Preston NE remain sitting in 15th place after being dealt a 2-1 loss away from home at Blackburn Rovers last time out in the Championship and the visitors now make the long journey to East Anglia for this upcoming clash with in-form Norwich City, no doubt looking to rekindle the sort of form which saw the Lancashire club put together a four-match unbeaten sequence beforehand.

Norwich City have slipped to just two defeats in their last nine matches overall in the Championship, both of which were away from home with losses on the road at Sheffield United and Leeds United respectively, but also includes collecting five wins within this period as well.

Three out of Norwich City's five wins have been achieved on home soil at Carrow Road with victories gained over the likes of Millwall, Coventry City and Swansea City respectively which will give The Canaries a boost for this upcoming clash.

Prior to their recent Lancashire derby loss to Blackburn Rovers, Preston NE had put together a promising four-game unbeaten sequence which consisted of two wins and two draws; victories against Watford and Middlesbrough were complemented by points picked up in draws with Oxford United and Luton Town.

The bigger picture shows Preston NE have slipped to just three defeats from their previous 15 matches overall in the Championship, all of which were dealt out to Paul Heckingbottom's side on their travels with losses incurred at QPR, West Brom and Blackburn Rovers.

The visitors have managed to capture just five wins though during this 15-game period, only two of which have been achieved on their travels with wins on the road at Cardiff City and Watford.

Indeed, results away from home have been pretty poor where Preston NE have been concerned as the visitors have picked up just two wins from their previous 20 outings on the road whilst also being handed no fewer than 11 losses along the way, which does not bode well for this upcoming trip to take on a resurgent Norwich City in their own backyard at Carrow Road.

Norwich City v Preston NE Verdict
