Norwich 1-0 Crystal Palace

Teemu Pukki thinks he's in and has been hauled down from behind.

The flag was up for offside before Pukki collected the ball. It did look like he was off.

If he was on though, this could be a red for James Tomkins.

Palace deal with the latest Norwich attack but the outlet pass down the right is overhit and Jordan Ayew can't reach.

Luka Milivojevic's corner is easily repelled.

Norwich go up the other end and want a free-kick for a challenge on Mario Vrancic but nothing doing in referee Jon Moss' eyes.

Palace get an early free-kick that Luka Milivojevic swings in.

The ball is eventually laid back to the Palace captain, whose first-time effort is deflected just wide of the left-hand post.

The hosts kick off.

Norwich gather in a quick huddle. We'll be under way shortly.

There's a real spirit about Crystal Palace. Roy Hodgson's side have come from behind to pick up points against Brighton and West Ham recently.

Norwich are not playing badly and are creating lots of chances. They're also due a win and went close to beating Tottenham on Saturday.

Prediction: 2-1

There has been a VAR hurricane swirling around the Premier League in recent days, and both Norwich and Crystal Palace found themselves in the eye of the storm.

The devil was very much in the detail of the offside calls against Teemu Pukki and Wilfried Zaha, which denied their respective teams important goals on Saturday.

Norwich really do need to start making marginal gains on those above them. They were the only team in the bottom three not to win during the festive period.

Unsurprisingly, history doesn't favour teams bottom of the table at the start of the new year. But the Canaries are determined to prove that their attractive, attacking approach is the method to escape the minefield.

Norwich City head coach Daniel Farke: "The quicker we can get 25 points, the easier we make the period where the mind games begin.

"That is why we go game to game. Don't be too down or too high with each result.

"We know our situation and what we are trying to achieve. We are the only self-funded club on this level, and compared to the other teams we were not able to spend any money."

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson: "They're a good team, Norwich. They play some excellent football. It will be as big a test as West Ham and Southampton were for us."
