Norwich City and Watford face relegation battle in Championship clash

Norwich City and Watford are set to face each other this Saturday at Carrow Road as both clubs attempt to distance themselves from the EFL Championship relegation zone. The two sides are separated by only one point in the league standings.

Norwich City enters the match following a 3-1 victory over Charlton Athletic, which ended a five-game losing streak. Despite their recent win, the team has struggled this season, sitting on 12 points after 12 matches. Manager Philippe Clement, who led the team to a ninth-place finish last season, faces pressure to maintain form.

Watford arrives after a 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Hornets have struggled offensively, holding the joint-worst attacking record in the division with only 10 goals scored. Manager Alessio Dionisi is also under scrutiny following a difficult run of results, including seven losses in his first 12 league games.
