    You might think this is an easy win for West Ham but they were taken to extra-time in their midweek FA Cup fourth round replay win over Liverpool.

    Also here's a few stats which might make you think otherwise:

    • West Ham haven't won on any of their last 16 league visits to Carrow Road.
    • Five of the nine Premier League meetings between the two have ended in a draw, with both sides winning two apiece.
    • West Ham have lost their last two away league matches.

    Norwich manager Alex Neil: "As a team, we've got to try and get the supporters off their seats by putting in a good performance.

    "We'll try our very best and the fans have then got to try and do their bit. It's all going to determine how we go about it.

    "We need to rally around each other and make sure everybody's pushing the one way, and if we do that there's no reason why we can't get the result."

    Match of the Day commentator

    "Last weekend's defeat at bottom-of-the-table Aston Villa was a massive blow to Norwich and their hopes of avoiding an immediate return to the Championship.

    "The Canaries are on a dreadful run, and really need something from this match to arrest their slide. An early goal for the visitors could see the mood at Carrow Road turn dramatically.

    "The Hammers' final season at Upton Park may end with FA Cup glory, and Dimitri Payet's new contract is hugely encouraging for them.

    "But West Ham were poor when I saw them lose at Southampton last weekend. Yet another draw between these two teams is a distinct possibility."
