Norwich City continues searching for their first win in the Premier League when they take on in-form Brentford. The match is scheduled for Saturday at the Brentford Community Stadium, with a kickoff at 6 pm.
The Canaries are at the bottom of the table, with only two points in their opening ten matches. On the other hand, Brentford sits 12th after picking 12 points from the past ten games.
Brentford will be delighted with their start to the 2021-22 Premier League season when all is considered. The Bees have collected 12 points from their ten matches, leaving them in 12th position in the table.
Brentford has done very well this season, and they also have an EFL Cup quarter-final contest with Chelsea to look forward to in December, having beaten Stoke City 2-1 in the last round on October 27.
Despite losing three consecutive games, the side of Thomas Frank is currently experiencing a hot streak, having won three straight games since topping West Ham United at the start of October.
Norwich City is expected to be relegated from the Premier League this season, but their current position of 20th in the table is not as worrying as fans might think. They have a positive goal difference, are scoring goals at a high rate, have not lost any games yet, and are keeping clean sheets.
