As things stand, Norwich are in a real scrap at the wrong end of the table, sitting a worrying 19th with just 33 points from 30 games. The difficult season saw a change in the dugout, with Philippe Clement taking the helm from Liam Manning in November to try and steer the ship to safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big concern for the Carrow Road faithful has been the dreadful home form, with only four wins all season. Surprisingly, they\u2019ve actually been better on their travels. A leaky defence that has shipped 42 goals has left them hovering just above the relegation zone. On a brighter note, striker Jovon Makama has been a real find, leading the scoring charts with 10 league goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s been a real season of struggle for Blackburn Rovers, who find themselves in a desperate relegation scrap. The club are languishing in 21st place in the Championship, with just 32 points from 30 tough matches. The poor run of form led to a change in the dugout, with Val\u00e9rien Isma\u00ebl departing in January and Damien Johnson taking the reins temporarily, as the hunt for a new manager begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A major issue has been the form at Ewood Park, where Rovers have managed only three wins all season, though they have fared slightly better on the road. Goals have been hard to come by, with the team netting just 27 times, while the defence has conceded 38. Icelandic striker Andri Gu\u00f0johnsen has been a rare bright spot, leading the line and the club\u2019s scoring charts with seven goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-norwich-team-news\">Norwich team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norwich City are in the midst of a severe injury crisis ahead of their crucial relegation six-pointer against Blackburn. Manager Philippe Clement is without a host of first-team players, with midfielder Mirko Topi\u0107 out for the season with an ACL injury. Fellow midfielder Pelle Mattsson is also sidelined for several weeks with an ankle problem. To make matters worse, new loan signing Harry Amass has suffered a serious hamstring injury and returned to Manchester United.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blackburn-team-news\">Blackburn team news<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blackburn Rovers have received a massive boost ahead of their crunch match with Norwich, with key defender Hayden Carter returning from a long-term injury. However, they will be without influential midfielder Todd Cantwell, who remains sidelined with a knee problem. New signing Dapo Afolayan could make his full debut after joining from St. Pauli, while fellow new boy Eiran Cashin will be full of confidence after scoring the winner in their last outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/SquawkaBet\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"114\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1415389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1024x114.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-1536x171.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-400x45.jpg 400w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-538x60.jpg 538w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-150x17.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1-40x4.jpg 40w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2025\/11\/28163831\/Group-14764-1.jpg 1792w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Season Form &amp; Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norwich are marginally ahead, but both sides have struggled to string wins together.
