Your support makes all the difference.The scrap for points at the foot of the table continues this weekend with Norwich scrambling to maintain their Premier League status. Stationed on 38 points, just 3 above the relegation zone, they will see this fixture as the more likely to gain points from, as they face a trip to Manchester City on the final day of the season.
Chris Hughton’s side are level on points with both North-East teams and will hope to gain an edge on their rivals going in to the final game of the season. However, with only one win in the last nine games the omens aren’t too optimistic for the Canaries.
West Brom remain in 8 position despite just one win in seven themselves. Steve Clarke will owe much of this to excellent early season form, something that he hopes to recapture to end the season a high.
