Norwich and Manchester City are the only two Premier League (PL) teams averaging at least 4.0 total goals per league game ahead of this round, so this meeting is a potential classic in the making.
Championship winners Norwich where the second tier’s joint-best home side last term (W15, D4, L4), and were almost as goal friendly then as they’ve been this season (3.70 goals on average per home match last season).
