Norwich didn't have that much success in the cup competitions this season. However, just like the recent game against Newcastle, there's likely to be a cup final atmosphere at Carrow Road. This really is the key game in the relegation battle as Norwich start the weekend four points clear of Sunderland but having played a game more. Avoiding defeat is imperative for Norwich, a win will go a long way towards ensuring their safety but a loss really puts Sunderland back in the fight. Norwich had been showing some improved form until the away defeat at Palace last week. They'd beaten both West Brom and Newcastle and drawn with Manchester City. Another good home performance is needed here. Sunderland have four points from their last six league games but haven't won any of them. Four straight draws ended when they lost at home to Leicester last weekend. The last five away games have only produced three points and if Sunderland are going to escape the bottom three they just have to win this match as they have some tough games coming up including Arsenal and Chelsea. A tight game looks likely and I go for Norwich to get the win over a Sunderland side struggling for goals and confidence.
