After switching alliances, Dean Smith begins a new life under Norwich City when they welcome at home Southampton. The match schedules for Sunday at Carrow Road with kickoff at 6 pm.
Norwich registered their first win of the season in their win over Brentford before the international break. On the other hand, Southampton takes up the 13th position while picking 14 points in the opening 11 matches.
The East Anglian club announced Farke’s departure in a statement that read: “Daniel Farke has been removed from his role as head coach with immediate effect.”
The Canaries will be looking to get off the mark as soon as possible as they travel to face Southampton on Saturday, and Smith is fully aware of the scale of the task Delia Smith and Peter Grant have handed him.
With four games in 11 days, including a trip to West Ham United on Tuesday, Norwich now faces a difficult period. Still, the new manager is determined to help his players push on and climb away from the foot of the Premier League table.
Southampton, meanwhile, enters this match off of a 1–0 win over Aston Villa on November 5, with Adam Armstrong’s third-minute effort proving to be the difference between these two sides.
They will look to build on their performance and continue their current run against a struggling Norwich City team.
