THE LOWDOWN
NORWICH
- Norwich’s Premier League misery was compounding by them exiting the FA Cup in midweek and the Canaries currently sit five points adrift of safety, making this a crucial match from their perspective.
- Full-backs Max Aarons and Brandon Williams have returned to training after both suffered knocks and Dean Smith will be hoping that both recover in time to take their places in the starting line-up here.
BRENTFORD
- An early red card for midfielder Josh Dasilva was the catalyst for Brentford falling a 0-2 loss in their crunch home clash with Newcastle last weekend, a massive blow for Bees who have been firmly dragged into the relegation dogfight following a horrendous recent run of results.
- Dasilva will miss out here through suspension while Thomas Frank has a big decision to make as to whether or not Christian Eriksen makes his first start for the club.

THE PREDICTION
This represents a huge opportunity for Norwich against a Brentford side who have accrued just one point from their last 24 Premier League matches and have lost each of their most recent five games in all competitions away from home. However, Thomas Frank and his team will be thinking the same about the Canaries, who are on the back of four successive defeats across both league and cup. A turgid affair could well be on the cards between two sides low on confidence and quality in front of of goal. Each will be aware of the ramifications defeat would bring, which may make it difficult for them to commit extra bodies forward, particularly as this match goes on. With that in mind, consider backing under 2.5 goals over 90 minutes.
Tip: UNDER 2.5 GOALS
