Preview: Norwich City vs. West Ham United

Norwich City will have to overcome the memory of a heavy defeat by Manchester City when they take on West Ham United at Carrow Road this weekend.

Chris Hughton's side were on the end of a 7-0 hammering at the Etihad Stadium last Saturday, resulting in Norwich's fourth game without a win in the Premier League.

The Canaries currently sit 18th in the league table, while West Ham have also been struggling by claiming just one win in six this season.

Sam Allardyce's men sit just two points above Norwich, who linger in the relegation zone, and they have struggled to find firepower in their ranks by netting just eight goals so far this season.

The Hammers may use Matt Jarvis as an attacking threat this weekend, while Norwich will be hoping that Gary Hooper can revive his goalscoring form at Carrow Road.
