Match preview

Expect a reaction from Everton following their disappointing 3-0 defeat at Aston Villa last weekend as the Blues look to make it three wins out of three on home soil.

Rafa Benitez has already shaped the team into a structured, well-organised outfit but there are still some issues for him to resolve at the back.

Everton have kept just one clean sheet in their seven competitive matches this season and that will offer some hope for the visitors, who are still looking for their first point.

Norwich are already firm favourites for the drop and after a fifth straight defeat at home to Watford last Saturday, the pressure is mounting on Daniel Farke and his men to open their account.

The Canaries have won on their last two visits to Goodison – 2-0 in the Premier League in 2019 and 2-0 in the EFL Cup in 2016 – but this looks a much tougher assignment.

One major plus for Farke was the return to goalscoring form for Teemu Pukki, who has now netted twice in the last three Premier League games.

Key stat

There have been two or more goals in each of Everton’s seven matches this season.
