Manchester United will host Norwich City on Saturday in 2019/20 Premier League as the season moves ahead. The Red Devils go into this game as the favourites.
Kick-off : 3:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Old Trafford, Manchester
Manchester United have already suffered a demoralising 1-3 defeat this week at the hands of rivals City in the Carabao Cup. They will look to get to winning ways in the Premier League.
United have not won a game this year across all competitions, an unwanted record. They would be eager to win at home against Norwich City.
The Red Devils sit 6th in the points table with 31 points from 21 matches. With a victory they will go into the 5th place.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to put a winning mentality back into the team. They need to win these games with being devastating in the final third. It will be a test of United’s patience.
On the other hand, Norwich City are having a horrible season and are in the relegation zone. They need to win games.
The Canaries sit bottom in the points table after 21 games with just 14 points. Man United away will be extremely tough matchup.
Daniel Farke know he will have slim chances of success when they compete at Old Trafford but his boys will give their all hoping to get something from the game against an out of form United side.
Head to Head
Manchester United have a good record against Norwich City having won 38 games in contrast to the Yellows 17 out of total 70 games. 15 matches have resulted in a draw.
Team news and possible lineups
Ben Godfrey, Josip Drmic, Ralf Fahrmann and Dennis Srbeny will all be absent for Norwich for the United game as due to injuries.
Teemu Pukki and Timm Klose are both a doubt. While Adam Idah could make a premier league debut.
As for Man United, Harry Maguire will be unavailable as due to injury.
Norwich City XI : Krul, Aarons, Zimmermann, Hanley, Byram, Vrancic, Tettey, Buendia, McLean, Cantwell, Idah.
Manchester United XI : De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Jones, Williams, Matic, Fred, James, Pereira, Rashford, Martial.
Prediction
Although Norwich can trouble Man United at their home, I am expecting The Red Devils to come up with three points. Maybe it will finish 2-0.
