Your support makes all the difference.Both teams progressed to the final 16 of the League Cup mid-week with confident wins over lower tier opposition in Tranmere Rovers and Watford. Now their attention must veer towards the up and coming Premier League fixture at the Britannia Stadium this weekend.
Norwich are in desperate need of a win as they find themselves just one spot off the relegation zone, with only one win so far in the League this season.
Stoke are sat comfortably in mid-table having achieved a number of good results in their first five games, in particular holding serious competitors to the title Manchester City to a 0-0 draw at home. Stoke are in fact still unbeaten at home this season, and will be anxious to maintain this fantastic form on Sunday.
