Norwich City and their fight for survival: The Houdini Escape?

What are the chances for Norwich City?

Despite their struggle throughout the season, Norwich City has positives. Tom Cantwell and Emi Buendia have caught the attention of major clubs with their eye-catching performances. If Norwich has to save their season, these are the players who can help them.

On the other hand, Teemu Pukki was on top of his game for Daniel Farke in the initial set of games. The Canaries enjoyed a great return to the Premier League with the astonishing form of Pukki. However, since the calendar has changed, the Finnish striker has failed to keep up his form and has scored only two goals for his side.

The promoted side is staring at the drop with seven points adrift of a safe zone with six games in hand. It is not impossible to come back from this kind of situation as every person has witnessed Norwich City defeating Manchester City at Carrow Road. Norwich had scored three past Ederson in that game and can derive inspiration from that fixture.

The Canaries have potentially “six-pointers” games against Watford and West Ham United which could be instrumental in their pursuit of a safe spot. Graham Potter is steering his side towards the safety zone with every week passing by. Watford can be a true inspiration for Norwich City as Hornets were lying at the bottom of the table but are looking ahead for one more season in the Premier League.

Daniel Farke’s men will highlight some potential proverbial ‘six-pointers’, home ties with Brighton and West Ham that could be pivotal to their chances. Norwich also makes the trip to another side facing the threat of relegation; Watford who were bottom at Christmas, an omen normally regarded as an inevitability for relegation.

Norwich has suffered enough defeats in the due course of the season and cannot ill afford any mishaps. Norwich City requires the same amount of wins in the remaining fixtures that they have won throughout the season. Can Daniel Farke find himself at Carrow Road facing another Premier League side in the 2020/21 season as a Premier League club manager?
