Burnley is fresh off their 1-1 draw against West Bromwich Albion. Jay Rodriguez scored the first goal for Burnley in the 30th minute on a penalty, but Brandon Thomas-Asante got the equalizer for West Bromwich Albion in the 8th minute of the second half’s stoppage time on a penalty earning West Bromwich Albion a comeback draw. Burnley is looking for direction having earned 15 points in their last 10 matches, while norwich City is fresh off their 3-0 shutout win against Coventry City. Teemu Pukki struck first for Norwich City in the 14th minute, then Josh Sargent added another in the 1st minute of the first half’s stoppage time on a feed from Aaron Ramsey In the end, Coventry City couldn’t muster any offence and Norwich City ran away with the shutout win. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Norwich City should be reasonably happy with their performance.
Norwich City and Burnley last played eachother at the Turf Moor on the 25th of January. Norwich City was victorious by a score of 2 to 1 in front of a crowd of just over eight thousand fans.

In the last five matches, both Josh Brownhill and Jay Rodriguez are on scoring streaks. They have each scored 4 goals for Burnley and look to continue their dominance.
