Prediction: 3-1
Norwich
A spot in the EFL Cup last 16 will be at stake when Fulham and Norwich City go head to head at Craven Cottage on Wednesday evening. The Cottagers have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating Luton, while holding Crystal Palace to a goalless draw in the Premier League and it is no wonder the odds for home win have been dropping. Both Adama Traore and Tosin Adarabioyo are sidelined with injuries, while Sasa Lukic is a major doubt.
The Canaries, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 6-2 loss to Plymouth, meaning that David Wagner should make a number of changes to the starting XI. All Forshaw, Placheta, and Hernandez are pushing for a start, but given Norwich’s shaky defence, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Premier League side.
Highlighted Player (Willian):
Willian is a Brazilian football player who was born on 9 August, 1988 in Ribeirao Pires. After playing for Corinthians in the 2006/2007 season, in 2007 he joined Ukrainian outfit Shakhtar Donetsk. The pacey winger won four Ukrainian Premier League trophies with the Miners, while clinching the UEFA Cup title in 2009 as well.
During his spell with Shakhtar, Willian was on Chelsea’s radar and in 2013 the chiefs of the Premier League club agreed a deal to sign the Brazilian ace for a fee of £30 million. Willian won the Premier League trophy with Chelsea in the 2014/2015 season and the following season he was named Chelsea Player of the year.
The 30-year-old winger has 38 caps for Brazil and he has netted six goals for the national team. Speaking of his personal life, Willian is married to Vanessa Martins, who gave birth to their twin daughters Valentina and Manuella.
Highlighted Team (Norwich):
After spending only one season in the Premier League, Norwich City dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. Norwich City are located in Norwich, Norfolk and they welcome their rivals at Carrow Road.
The stadium was built and opened in 1935 and the capacity of the venues is 27,137 (all-seater). However the stadium’s record attendance is 43,984. The Canaries have won two League Cup trophies (1973, 1975) and their main rivals are Ipswich Town. The two teams have been facing each other in the East Anglian Derby since 1902.
The colour of Norwich City’s home kit is yellow and green and that is the main reason why they are known as the Canaries. The likes of Kevin Keeland, Ian Culverhouse, Steve Bruce, Duncan Forbes, Mark Bowen, Darren Huckerby, Ian Crook, Martin Peters, Darren Eadier, Chris Sutton and Iwan Roberts are notable footballers who played for the Carrow Road outfit in the past.
