Follow all the action from Carrow Road
Follow live coverage as Norwich City face Burnley in the Premier League today.
Manchester City are reigning champions after a dominant 2020/21 season and Pep Guardiola's side are favourites to win it again boasting as they do one of the best squads in Europe.
European champions Chelsea have proven they have what it takes to dethrone City, however, having done it in last season's Champions League final and will be hoping to add a domestic title to the one won in Porto.
Liverpool were winners back in 2020 ending a 30-year wait for league glory and Jurgen Klopp is sure to have them back challenging again at the sharp end this season too while Manchester United will be looking to be back in the title picture with Cristiano Ronaldo returning to his former club in the summer.
It's not all about the action at the top though with Norwich, Watford and Brentford promoted to the top tier for 2020/21 and hoping to hold their own against the best English football has to offer and avoid the drop.
We will bring you all the action and updates from today's game in the live blog below:
Norwich City vs Burnley
The pressure stays on Burnley for the next few games, then, while Norwich look better for accepting their fate. Both teams look likely to play in the Championship next season. That's all for now. Goodbye!
Norwich City vs Burnley
Norwich's win doesn't improve their league position. They're still bottom and seven points from safety, but it's clear they plan on going down with dignity. It's the first time they've won a Premier League game by more than one goal since August 2019. Burnley will be more affected by this defeat. They stay 18th, and the gap between them and Everton stays at four points.
Norwich City vs Burnley
Norwich have won at Carrow Road to stymie Burnley's plans of staying up! The Canaries may not score many goals but they are a tougher prospect under Dean Smith, as the Clarets have found out. Lees-Melou's early goal gave the hosts a lead to protect, a job they did extremely well. Burnley had their moments, especially in the first half, but faded in the second to let Pukki wrap things up. Cornet will regret his close-range miss when the score was only 1-0.

Krul keeps Norwich's clean sheet intact with a fantastic diving save! Cornet spots Brownhill's runup on the edge of the box and lays the ball off to him. The midfielder lets rip with a right-footer that Krul stops from finding the bottom right corner. Burnley get a corner which doesn't lead to much. That's it!

Williams' right-footed shot from outside the box drifts off-target. He might as well have a crack.

There'll be five minutes of time added onto the end of this match. There's no whiff of Burnley scoring even a consolation goal now.
Norwich City vs Burnley
Pukki's goal was his ninth in the Premier League this season, more than any other Norwich player. He's become the third Norwich player to reach 20 Premier League goals after Chris Sutton and Grant Holt. He's been the Canaries' brightest spark in an otherwise poor season.
Norwich City vs Burnley
Pukki leaves the pitch to applause from the home fans. Tzolis replaces him for the last few minutes of this match.
Norwich City vs Burnley
Dyche directs his players to push forward, but it's surely too late at this stage. Burnley have been outthought and outfought by Norwich here.
