Norwich will be desperate to pick up their first points of the Premier League season when they travel to Burnley today in a meeting of two of the competition’s winless teams.

Daniel Farke’s side are yet to get off the mark following their promotion back to the top flight. Opening fixtures against Liverpool and Manchester City weren’t expected to bring a position return but the recent defeats by Watford and Everton have raised concern surrounding their survival credentials.

The Canaries come into this fixture bottom of the table, on the back of six straight defeats and with both the Premier League’s worst attack and defence in terms of goals scored and conceded.

Burnley are positioned just one place above Norwich and are off to another slow start under Sean Dyche. The Clarets were denied a first win of the season last weekend when Chris Wood’s late header at Leicester was ruled out for offside.
