Watford will be eager to regain their footing in the EFL Championship as they head to Carrow Road to face Norwich City on Friday.
The Hornets were off to a blistering start, winning five straight games across league and cup competitions. However, their form has dipped recently, following a narrow 1-0 defeat at Sheffield United and a 1-1 stalemate against Coventry City at home.
Tom Cleverley's side still sits comfortably in fifth place, trailing league leaders West Brom by just three points, but they'll be keen to avoid extending their winless streak to three matches.
Watford will back themselves to secure points against a Norwich team that has managed only five points from their opening five Championship fixtures.
After a significant squad overhaul and the arrival of new manager Johannes Hoff Thorup, the Canaries were always expected to take some time to find their rhythm. However, they remain unbeaten at home with two draws and a win at Carrow Road, and Thorup will be banking on home-field advantage to ignite their season with a vital victory.

Watford team news
Midfielder Giorgi Chakvetadze is a doubt for Watford after picking up a back injury in their previous match, though early assessments suggest the issue isn't as serious as initially feared.
Striker Edo Kayembe, who netted three goals in his first two appearances this season, has since been unable to find the back of the net. A goal seems long overdue, and he’s definitely one to watch in this clash.
