Norwich City v West Brom: Can the Canaries get the result they crave?

Norwich City missed out on a golden opportunity to claw their way to safety last weekend by going down at home to Aston Villa. With a final game away at Manchester City looming, the Canaries know they must get something from this game to keep their survival hopes alive.
West Bromwich Albion head into the game looking to secure their eighth place with a win. This is a dummy game for them, but as we saw in midweek with Swansea City, the integrity of the English game is remarkable. Make no mistakes about it, the Baggies will want to win this one.
The Canaries haven't beaten the Baggies at Carrow Road in their past three attempts, but what a time this would be for them to rewrite the history books.
There will be a tense atmosphere at Carrow Road, but can the Canaries get the result they so desperately crave?
Norwich City v West Brom; Kick Off 3pm May 12 2013
