Norwich City vs Everton: Roberto Martinez's Toffees aiming to extend unbeaten run
A look ahead to the Premier League fixture at Carrow Road
It’s a big game for…
Cameron Jerome: There have been glimpses of the Cameron Jerome who scored 21 goals during Norwich’s promotion campaign, but only glimpses. The former Stoke City forward has netted twice in 15 Premier League appearances and is goalless since October. If Everton are as kind to the Canaries as they were to Bournemouth, Jerome may have a chance to recapture his former potency.
Best stat…
4: Four of Everton’s Premier League visits to Carrow Road have ended in a draw. Their first meeting ended 1-1, their latest 2-2.
Remember when…
Norwich scored twice in the final six minutes of their 2013 encounter; Grant Holt’s 90th minute winner earned the Canaries their first win in 10 matches.
Player to watch…
Romelu Lukaku: There is a Belgian striker on Merseyside tearing through Premier League defences at the moment, and it’s not Liverpool’s Christian Benteke. Lukaku, wearing Evertonian blue, scored his sixth goal in five league matches to rescue a point against Crystal Palace on Monday. Petr Cech was the last keeper to prevent the Toffees striker from scoring, in October – take note, John Ruddy.
