Footymad preview History of the Norwich City v Southampton fixture

Norwich City are ready to welcome Southampton to Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Canaries are clearly on top, having won 25 and lost only 10 of the 45 games.

The previous match played between the two at Carrow Road was more than three years back, in February 2010, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a League One match.

FootyMad's prediction ...

Its been a distinctly poor show from Norwich City at home in recent games, and, though we cannot see a run starting here, we do think the Canaries will at least gain a draw. No-score draw
