West Bromwich Albion return to Sky Bet Championship action following the first international break of 2025 with a trip to Norwich City on Saturday afternoon (ko 3pm).

The Baggies were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Hull City in their most recent game, but did stretch their unbeaten run to six in the process.

The Canaries sit eight points behind Tony Mowbray's men with eight fixtures remaining. The Canaries lost back-to-back contests against Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City before the domestic pause, and are without a win in four. 

Mason Holgate and Josh Maja were on the scoresheet for Albion in the reverse fixture back in November, a game which ended 2-2. All four goals came in the opening half. Supporters can watch the highlights below.

The hosts

Norwich City head into this weekend's fixture knowing how crucial a victory would be. 

The Canaries, now in their third successive season in the Sky Bet Championship, sit eight points behind the Baggies with eight fixtures remaining. Johannes Hoff Thorup's side have slipped off the play-off pace in recent weeks, winning just one of their last eight matches and none of their last four. 

They'll be determined to reignite their top-six hopes by beating Tony Mowbray's sixth-placed team on Saturday at Carrow Road, a ground they've been fairly strong at so far this term.

Norwich City have only suffered four defeats in front of their own supporters in the second tier in 2024/25, scoring the second-highest number of home goals (44). 

Johannes Hoff Thorup, a 36-year-old Dane, became the boss last summer and has a record of 13 wins, 13 draws and 15 defeats from his 41 encounters in charge. His only previous managerial position was at FC Nordsjælland in his homeland.

Jay Rodriguez (2), Harvey Barnes and Hal Robson-Kanu all scored for Albion, while Jordan Rhodes, Teemu Pukki and Grant Hanley found the net for Norwich.
