Norwich - Bolton

Norwich City enter matchday 8 of the Championship looking to regain momentum after a challenging week that included a heavy EFL Cup defeat to Manchester City and a narrow loss to Middlesbrough. Their recent league form has been inconsistent, oscillating between high-scoring victories, such as the 4-1 win over Burnley, and disappointing results. Meanwhile, Bolton Wanderers arrive at Carrow Road following a morale-boosting 1-0 win against Cardiff City, which helped steady the ship after a difficult run of three consecutive league defeats. The visitors will be without the injured Lewis Brunt as they attempt to build on their latest result.

This contest marks the latest chapter in a long-standing series of meetings between the two clubs. When they last faced each other in February 2019, Norwich City secured a dominant 4-0 victory. As the expected XIs take the pitch, the focus turns to whether Norwich can rediscover their attacking rhythm or if Bolton can maintain the defensive discipline shown in their most recent outing.
