Norwich City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction

Norwich City are bottom of the league table and are yet to win a game. There is a long way to go, but Norwich City's start has not inspired confidence. While the likes of Max Aarons and Teemu Pukki are still at the club, the club's inability to stay in the Premier League for more than one season at a time could finally come back to haunt them if this poor start continues.

Huddersfield Town, on the other hand, reached the precipice of Premier League dreamland last season, only for Nottingham Forest to pip them under controversial circumstances. They are 14th in the league right now, and it would be surprising to see them replicate last season's success.

We expect Norwich City to finally register their first win of the league season.

Prediction: Norwich City 1-0 Huddersfield Town
