THE PREDICTION
Stoke came out on top in a 4-3 thriller at home to Huddersfield at the weekend, whilst Norwich took part in a much more defensive affair, but still picked up a hugely impressive three points with a 0-1 win away to Middlesbrough. Norwich will be well affair of Stoke’s frailties in goal, with injuries to their two first choice keepers forcing them to play youngster Joe Bursik vs the Terriers. The Canaries look primed to seize upon such a weakness and when you combine that with their defence having not conceded in their last three games, then a fourth successive Norwich clean sheet will almost certainly see them pick up the victory, with the likes of Pukki and Buendia expected to score at least once vs the inexperienced Bursik.
