Norwich v Newcastle: Preview and Predictions

Newcastle were considered to be the Premier League team most likely to be knocked out of the FA Cup by lower league opposition and didn’t fail to disappoint when they made a long and pointless journey to Brighton.

          Norwich were tipped by us to better Peterborough and looked impressive last week – and we think they’ll be able to edge past Newcastle in a game we expect to mirror the visit from Sunderland: expect a tense and edgy game with Norwich taking the lead, which they’ll then fear losing.

          Newcastle have had a torrid few weeks and we don’t expect it to get any better – although a win against a strong home side, as Norwich have been this season, will revive their campaign.

Norwich v Newcastle: Verdict: Norwich 11/10
