Carrow Road is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter as Norwich City play hosts to Man United in the Premier League this Saturday. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
With four wins in as many games against the Canaries in recent seasons, the Red Devils would be fairly confident heading into this matchup.
Rangnick keen on continuing unbeaten start
There has been some injection of enthusiasm since Dean Smith was appointed as Norwich boss with the Englishman leading the Canaries to back-to-back victories against Brentford and Southampton before picking up solitary points against Wolves and Newcastle. They were brought back down to earth away at Spurs last weekend in a 3-0 win for Antonio Conte's troops condemning Dean Smith to his first loss at his new job. This loss sent Norwich to the bottom of the standings having amassed a paltry ten points from 15 league matches.
Ralf Rangnick got off to a positive start as Man United boss against Crystal Palace over the weekend. In a game where we saw the Mancunians win the ball in the opponent's half 12 times- the highest they've managed since Sir Alex retired-, Fred's brilliant strike from outside the box was the decider much to the delight of the Man United faithful. With the Reds having booked a place in the UCL knockouts, the German boss fielded a brand new XI in their midweek game against Young Boys, giving a bunch of academy players their senior debuts. Mason Greenwood was on the scoresheet but the Mancunians had to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw.
