Preview: Norwich City vs. Manchester United

Sports Mole previews this weekend's Premier League clash between Norwich City and Manchester United.

Manchester United will be looking for their fourth Premier League win in a row when they visit Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday.

David Moyes's side have responded well to their back-to-back home defeats against Everton and Newcastle United, with victories against Aston Villa, West Ham United and Hull City.

Their 3-2 win against Hull at the KC Stadium on Boxing Day moved them up to seventh in the table and helped to close the gap on their title rivals.

Norwich have struggled for form recently and suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Fulham during their last outing.

They are currently 14th in the table and are now winless in their last three games.

A real worry for manager Chris Hughton will be the lack of goals they have scored this season, having netted only 16 times from their first 18 games.

Marouane Fellaini is still ruled out for United, but Robin van Persie could feature after recovering from a hamstring injury. Antonio Valencia is suspended after picking up a red card during the win over Hull.

Norwich forward Ricky van Wolfswinkel made his return to the side from the bench against Fulham and is pushing for a start, while Ben Turner picked up his fifth booking of the season and is ruled out through suspension.
