Norwich City vs Leicester City in the third week of the Premier League 2021-22 at Carrow Road, Saturday (28/8/2021). Although on paper Leicester are favored, in fact Norwich several times had become a serious stumbling block.
Newly promoted, Norwich City was immediately hit by trials to meet two giant teams at once in the first two weeks, namely Liverpool and Manchester City. In fact, the two games they conceded eight goals at once. However, slowly but surely Daniel Farke's foster children began to rise.
The new fact of winning six goals without reply over Leicester City in the League Cup is proof. This is certainly a yellow light for Leicester City, who last week had to be embarrassed to lose 1-4 at West Ham United headquarters.
Leicester on paper are favored because they excel in meeting records. However, Norwich City has a danger that could make Brendan Rodgers's team hurt again.
