History of the Plymouth Argyle v Norwich City fixture

Norwich City travel to take on Plymouth Argyle at Home Park on Saturday afternoon, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Canaries will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 4 of the 28 games.

The last time the two teams met at Plymouth Arg. was way back in the black-and-white days of January 1968, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Second Division match.
