Norwich City play host to Oldham Athletic at Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Canaries are clearly on top, having won 6 and lost only 2 of the 10 games.

The last time the two teams met at Norwich City was more than a decade ago, in October 1996, with Norwich City running out comfortable 2-0 winners in a League Division One match.
