Match preview

Norwich City host Burnley at Carrow Road in Round 3 of the Championship season, with both sides seeking their first league victory of the campaign. Norwich find themselves in 23rd place after opening their season with back-to-back defeats—falling 1-2 at home to West Bromwich Albion and 0-3 away to Millwall—leaving them with zero points and five goals conceded in two outings.

Burnley enter the fixture in 18th position with one point from their opening two matches, having drawn 2-2 with West Ham before suffering a 1-3 defeat on the road against West Brom. Scott Parker's side will look to build on a dominant recent head-to-head record against Norwich, having won the last four consecutive encounters between the two clubs across all competitions.

With both defensive units conceding an average of 2.5 goals per match in the early stages of the league season and both sides managing significant injury lists, this matchup presents an opportunity for Burnley to extend their positive head-to-head run against a struggling Canaries side.
