Norwich - Watford
Norwich City seek momentum against struggling Watford
Norwich City look to build on their recent victory at Charlton Athletic as they return to Carrow Road on 31 October 2026. The hosts face Watford in this Championship matchday 13 encounter, aiming to overcome the absence of the injured Mohamed Toure. The expected XI, featuring Mathias Kvistgaarden leading the line, will hope to find the consistency that has eluded them during a challenging autumn run that included narrow defeats to Portsmouth and Southampton.
Watford arrive in Norfolk searching for a response after a difficult spell, most recently falling to a narrow defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The visitors have struggled for stability, suffering heavy losses against Cardiff City and Burnley in recent weeks. With a front three of Myron Boadu, Luca Kjerrumgaard, and Iker Bravo expected to start, Watford will look to replicate their defensive resilience from their last visit to this venue in December 2025.
