Norwich City and West Ham United Need to Pick Themselves Up Following Disappointments
Norwich City vs West Ham - 08/05/2022

One of four matches to take place in the English Premier League on Sunday the 8th of May is the meeting between Norwich City and West Ham United at Carrow Road.
The hosts begin the weekend bottom of table and have been relegated while the visitors are in 7th place but out of contention for the top four this season.
Norwich City come into the match on the back of a 2-0 defeat at Aston Villa last weekend. Aston Villa opened the scoring shortly before half time and added a second goal at the end of the match to take maximum points. That result was enough to see Norwich City relegated to The Championship for next season.
The defeat at Aston Villa was the 3rd successive loss for Norwich City following a 3-2 reverse at Manchester United and a 3-0 defeat at home against Newcastle United. Norwich City have recorded only 1 win from their last 13 fixtures in all competitions.
Trends show Norwich City have won just 3 of their last 22 league games and have lost 4 of their last 5 Premier League matches at Carrow Road. Norwich City have been struggling defensively when playing at home and have conceded 3 or more goals in 4 of their 5 most recent league games on home soil.
West Ham United make the trip to Carrow Road on the back of a disappointing 1-0 loss at Eintracht Frankfurt in the semi-final of the Europa League on Thursday night. The only goal of the game was scored in the 26th minute and came shortly after West Ham United had a player sent off. West Ham United were hoping to use the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League and will have to raise themselves for this match.
The defeat in Germany means West Ham United have lost each of their 4 most recent games in all competitions. West Ham United lost home and away to Eintracht Frankfurt plus suffered defeats in the Premier League against Chelsea away and Arsenal at home.
Away form in the league has been poor and West Ham United have failed to win any of their last 6 Premier League matches on the road. They have lost each of their last 4 at Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur, Brentford, and Chelsea.
Team news and Norwich City have Christoph Zimmermann, Kenny McLean, Ozan Kabak, Adam Idah, and Andrew Omobamidele on the treatment table. Josh Sargent is a doubt having picked up a knock.
West Ham United should have every player available but David Moyes may rotate his team having played with 10 men for so long on Thursday.
Both sets of fans will arrive at the game disappointed with recent developments but West Ham United are still the overwhelming favourites to win this game. Norwich City have been poor for some time and The Hammers should have enough to win this game by at least 2 goals.
