Everton will be looking to record their first Premier League victory since the start of December when they travel to Norwich City, who sit second-from-bottom in the league table with kickoff at 6 pm.
The Toffees are currently 15th in the Premier League table, while Norwich City sits bottom of the table, having accumulated just 10 points from 20 games played this term.
On Wednesday evening, Norwich suffered their sixth straight Premier League defeat, going down 2-0 away to West Ham United.
The Canaries haven’t scored a single goal in England’s top-flight since the end of November, and they are now eight league matches without a victory.
In addition, Norwich City’s record of two wins, four draws, and 14 defeats from 20 matches leaves them bottom of the table on 10 points, but they’re only three points behind Watford, who have two games in hand.
When Everton got off to such a good start in the 2021-22 season, there were suggestions that Rafael Benitez could lead the team to a top-six finish in the Premier League this season.
Everton has struggled lately, with a record of 19 points from 18 matches, leaving them in 15th position in the Premier League table, just eight points clear of relegation.
