Norwich v Everton: match preview

Norwich v Everton
Norwich v Everton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: Guardian

If Norwich have any hope of staging an unlikely bid for survival it surely has to start with the visit of an Everton side in almost similarly dire straits. After taking five points from his first three matches, Dean Smith has presided over six consecutive Premier League defeats – failing to score a single goal. Everton have won once in their past 11 league games but Rafael Benítez will hope the signings of Nathan Patterson, Vitalii Mykolenko and Anwar El Ghazi will revitalise them along with the hoped-for returns to fitness of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Yerry Mina and Richarlison.
