Preview: Norwich City vs. West Bromwich Albion

Sports Mole previews the Premier League clash between Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion at Carrow Road.

Norwich City play host to West Bromwich Albion on Saturday knowing that three points could see them secure their Premier League status.

The Canaries have been dragged into a relegation battle after picking up just four points from their last six games, leaving the club three points off the relegation zone.

Manager Chris Hughton witnessed his side concede a late goal to lose to Aston Villa last weekend, but despite the defeat, he could still opt to name an unchanged starting lineup.

West Brom's hopes of finishing in a European place have ended in recent weeks, but boss Steve Clarke will be keen on seeing his team end the season in positive fashion.

Like Norwich, the Baggies have only won one of their last six matches, suffering defeats to Wigan Athletic and Manchester City in the past seven days.

Striker Shane Long could only make the bench in midweek, but he could replace Markus Rosenberg in attack.
