Norwich City v Everton: Can Toffees keep pressure on Arsenal and Spurs?
Carrow Road has been something of a bogey ground for Everton. The boys in blue have managed just one win there in the past 25 years - that was courtesy of Big Duncan Ferguson in 2004 - but can David Moyes' men keep their Champions League hopes alive with a vital win this afternoon?
Norwich City have been on a terrible run of form. Chris Hughton's men have gone nine games without a win and are in serious danger of slipping into the relegation scrap. The Canaries start the day just five points above the drop zone but there are signs of life in the old bird yet, with four draws from their past five outings.
Everton's foot has come off the pedal in recent weeks with only one win in five. With games against Arsenal, Man City and Spurs coming up, the Toffees need to get back in the swing of things now.
Unfortunately this game has draw written all over it. The past three meetings have all ended in stalemate and between them they have drawn 23 games this season in the league alone.
