Crystal Palace welcome Norwich City to Selhurst Park on Saturday as both teams look for some consistency.
Norwich followed up their famous win over Manchester City with a defeat to Burnley in the previous round.

Despite dominating the possession and registering 11 shots, the Canaries were beaten 2-0 at Turf Moor.
Norwich’s inconsistency is reflected in their league record which currently looks like this: W2-D0-L4.
Only the league’s bottom side Watford have conceded more goals than Daniel Farke’s men, and the German manager would love nothing more than to keep a clean sheet on Saturday.
Teemu Pukki has been in blistering form for Norwich this season and his 6 Premier League goals are the main reason why Norwich don’t find themselves further down the table.
The Canaries are sat in 16th on 6 points while Crystal Palace are 4 places above having picked up 8 points.
Palace made a promising start the season by losing just once in their first four matches. They registered an impressive win at Old Trafford in that time but their form has since tailed off.
A 4-0 defeat to Spurs was followed up by a 1-1 draw with Wolves and Roy Hodgson will be looking for more goals from his team.
The Eagles are the joint-lowest scorers in the Premier League with just 4 goals to their name so far.
With that being said, they have only conceded 7, which has helped them to secure a record of W2-D2-L2.
Palace could be boosted by the return of James Tomkins this weekend. The defender played for the under-23s recently following a spell out due to injury and could be ready for the first team squad.
On the other hand, Norwich’s squad is still blighted by injury, and the Canaries were famously forced to name two goalkeepers on the substitute bench for their game against Man City.
Norwich have won just 2 of their last 10 matches against Crystal Palace with the Eagles winning the last two meetings between the teams.
The Canaries’ last top-flight victory over Palace came in 2013 and Palace’s recent run of good form in this fixture is likely to stand them in good stead for Saturday’s clash.
Forebet predicts that Crystal Palace will once again get the better of Norwich and could well keep a clean sheet in the process.
