Manchester United go into the weekend in 13th place in the Premier League table. They are five places ahead of their opponents Norwich City but only three points clear of them. United are two points above the relegation zone and seven adrift of the final Champions League qualification place. It's clearly nowhere near what they want to achieve but a couple of wins would change everything. Not until the start of December do United play a team that finished in the top six last season. The possibility of a good run is there and they need more performances like the one they put in against Liverpool last weekend. Away form has seen them without a league win this season with two draws and two defeats. None of those away games have been against teams currently in the top ten so there are a lot of tough games to come.

Norwich City are one from bottom in the table but only a point from safety. That's not too bad actually as finishing one place above the relegaton zone would almost be like winning the cup. They managed a rare clean sheet at Bournemouth last weekend. City needed that after losing their last home league game 5-1 to Aston Villa  Since that shock win over Manchester City, Norwich have only earned one point in the following four games, conceding nine goals. A worry for them is that Teemu Pukki hasn't scored in any of those four games with the Canaries only scoring a single consolation goal against Villa.  They also have a growing injury list which will make life even harder for them. United should have received a confidence boost from last Sunday's game and can get a first away league win of the season.
