Norwich v Swansea Sat 27 April 15:00

There are two tough matches left to round of our season. First up are play-off contenders Norwich. A tough place to go Carrow Road with Norwich having won 15 of their 22 games there this season and they will be eager to consolidate their play-off spot.

It will be a tight match if the form guide over the last 6 matches is anything to go by:

Norwich W3 D2 L1 F8 A7 (their one defeat, 3-1 at Leicester)

Swansea W3 D1 L2 F9 A4

In the reverse fixture last October we won 2-1, Lowe and Humphreys with the goals. Norwich were impressive going forward though and exposed us out wide, where the speedy Rowe was a handful for Key.

Our team line-up that day:

Swans: Carl Rushworth, Josh Key, Ben Cabango, Harry Darling, Matt Grimes (c), Jerry Yates, Jamal Lowe, Jamie Paterson, Charlie Patino, Liam Cullen, Bashir Humphreys

Subs: Andy Fisher, Jay Fulton, Josh Tymon, Mykola Kuharevich, Kyle Naughton, Liam Walsh, Harrison Ashby, Ollie Cooper, Cameron Congreve

Swansea should be full of confidence going there with three straight wins under their belts without conceding a goal, but this is the Championship where the unpredictable happens. A draw would be a favourable outcome.
 
The teams:

Swansea:

Carl Rushworth, Josh Key, Jay Fulton, Ben Cabango, Harry Darling, Matt Grimes (c), Jamie Paterson, Josh Tymon, Liam Cullen, Ollie Cooper, Ronald

Subs:
Andy Fisher, Jerry Yates, Jamal Lowe, Charlie Patino, Mykola Kuharevich, Nathan Wood, Liam Walsh, Bashir Humphreys, Azeem Abdulai



Norwich:

Angus Gunn, Jack Stacey, Ben Gibson, Borja Sainz, Josh Sargent, Sam McCallum, Christian Fassnacht, Gabriel Sara, Kenny McLean (c), Shane Duffy, Marcelino Nunez

Subs:
George Long, Grant Hanley, Ashley Barnes, Sydney van Hooijdonk, Jacob Sorensen, Danny Batth, Jonathan Rowe, Kellen Fisher, Guilherme Montoya
 
2-1 Sargent header 45’+3, cross from the left, Norwich dominant.

45 +7 HT: 2-1
Disappointing defending for both goals after taking the lead, flanks wide open at times.

59’ Norwich still dominating, 8 corners to 1 so far.
End to end for the rest of the game

FT:
Norwich 2 (Sara 34’, Sargent 45’ +3) - Swansea 2 (Paterson 24’, Grimes 53’ pen)
Brilliant point for Swansea.
Two Norwich shots cleared off the line and they also had 18 shots and 9 corners.
Great defensive and attacking display from Swans second half.
Lowe almost scored, right footed shot from the left side, curled into the right top corner of goal, shot saved at full stretch by Gunn.
