Norwich - West Ham: The Nightingale Song of the Canaries

Norwich - West Ham: The Nightingale Song of the Canaries

West Ham United, unlike Norwich, has real chances to keep a residence permit in the elite. In addition, it now looks much preferable. However, the nightmare game in defense is unlikely to allow guests to count on an easy walk. “Canaries” are able to use mistakes of rivals and there should be a lot of them.

Norwich

The Norfolk team did not last long in the top division of England. Only last year Norwich won the English Championship and it returned back in exactly one year.

Over the 34 rounds of the current championship, the “canaries” were able to win five victories and six world ones, which brought the team 21 points. The gap from the safe zone is already ten points, which will be difficult for hosts to overcome, but rather impossible. Team indicators correspond to the occupied place.

The “yellow-green” has the worst line of defense, which conceded 63 goals, while the attack scored only 26 times. The main goalscorer of the team is the Finnish legionnaire Pukki (11 goals). The big break aggravated the already terrible tournament position of the team. In the summer session, Daniel Farke's wards lost all games in the Premier League and also lost in the quarterfinal of the Manchester United Country Cup (1: 2 dv). The outsider lost all three matches of July and in two matches it could not score - Arsenal (0: 4), Brighton (0: 1) and Watford (1: 2).

Cantwell, Hanley, Leitner, Biram and Zimmermann will not be able to take part in today's game.

West Ham

The club from Stratford has won the FA Cup three times in history, but it still has no luck in the Premier League team. In the current draw, the “iron” do not please fans, where for 34 rounds they managed to get eight victories and seven world ones and this corresponds to the 16-th line in the standings.

The attack of guests is the best among teams of the last five - 40 goals scored, 7 of which are on the account of Haller and five are at Snodgrass. The Hammers defeated the summer session of the unique English Premier League tournament - three defeats and a draw with Newcastle United (2: 2), but the victory over fellow countrymen from Chelsea (3: 2) was more of a sensation than a logical result.

Last Wednesday, the “burgundy blues” unexpectedly lost in their temporary field to “Burnley” (0: 1), which few could give a forecast. It is worth noting that it was only thanks to VAR that an even greater defeat was avoided in this game, although the Londoners surpassed their opponents in terms of statistics.

Snodgrass, who has a back injury, will not be able to take part in today's game. Anderson, who has a leg injury is entering the field.
