We said: Norwich City 2-0 Coventry City

Averaging well over two goals per game at their Carrow Road base, Norwich should be able to bag a few strikes against a Coventry side who looked vulnerable at the back versus Cardiff last time out. The Sky Blues are unable to call upon a glut of their attacking stars in East Anglia, meaning that a sobering defeat could be on the horizon for Lampard's men. Read more.
