History of the Norwich City v Manchester United fixture

Norwich City play host to Manchester United at at tea-time on Saturday, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 13 of the 29 previous games, with the Canaries winning just 10.

The last time the two teams met at Norwich City was more than a decade ago, in February 1995, as the visitors ran out cosy 0-2 winners in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Norwich City's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Canaries have scored 11, a worringly large 16 have been leaked at the other end.

Man Utd.'s away form is none too clever either, tasting just one defeat in their last six, and picking up four good wins. Those games have seen the Red Devils pummel 12 goals, and let in 3.

Norwich City find themselves stuck right at the bottom of the division. Their 31 games have yielded only 20 points. Man Utd. sit in a healthy 3rd in the league, and have picked up 67 points from their 31 games.
