The Premier League fixtures continue to come thick and fast over the festive period and on the 1st of January Norwich City will play Crystal Palace at Carrow Road. Norwich City come into this match sitting bottom of the Premier League with 13 points to their name.
They are 6 points adrift of safety and really need to start winning their home games. Crystal Palace begin this round of fixtures in 9th place and a win for them could see them move up into 8th position.
Norwich City picked up a point on the weekend as they drew 2-2 with Tottenham Hotspur at home. VAR once again caused plenty of controversy in this game to the detriment of the Canaries and despite twice taking the lead they were pegged back on both occasions. That result means Norwich City have failed to win any of their last 7 Premier League games which is a poor run of form.
Trends show Norwich City have won only 3 of their last 21 matches in all competitions and they have lost 5 of their last 7 home games in all competitions. Both teams have scored in 6 of their last 7 Premier League games including each of their last 4 at home. Norwich City have picked up just two points from their last 7 home league games.
Crystal Palace picked up a point in a 1-1 draw away to Southampton on Saturday. The Eagles took the lead early in the second half but conceded an equaliser with 16 minutes remaining on the clock. However, that result means Crystal Palace have now lost only one of their last 7 Premier League games with that defeat coming away to Newcastle United on the 21st of December.
Despite remaining undefeated in their last 7 Premier League matches, Crystal Palace have won only one of their last 5 league games and that came at home against West Ham United on Boxing Day.
Trends show Crystal Palace have struggled to win on the road in recent Premier League games and have won only one of their last 6 away matches. The victory came away against Burnley towards the end of November and since then Crystal Palace have drawn at Watford and Southampton plus lost at Newcastle United.
Crystal Palace have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 6 of their last 7 games in all competitions.
Looking ahead to the team news and Norwich City are without the injured trio of Ben Godfrey, Josip Drmic and Timm Klose. Goalkeeper Ralf Fährmann continues to struggle with a hamstring problem.
Crystal Palace make the trip to Carrow Road with plenty of injury concerns. Christian Benteke, Jeffrey Schlupp, Joel Ward and Scott Dann will all miss out. Andros Townsend, Gary Cahill, Luke Dreher and Patrick Van Aanholt are all doubts.
Crystal Palace have plenty of injury concerns but will still feel confident of winning this match. Norwich City are in poor form right now and it wouldn't be a surprise to see Crystal Palace score a couple of goals and win the game.
