Burnley have struggled since their opening day thrashing of Southampton, failing to pick up another victory in their opening five games.

Norwich, meanwhile, sit one point above the Clarets in the table, having shocked the footballing world with their win over title holders Man City.
The Canaries not only picked up the three points, but also played excellent football, demonstrating what they are capable of in England's top division.

Head to Head Record
Burnley have the slight edge over Norwich historically, winning 19 games and losing 14. The two have never competed against each other in the Premier League, however.

The last competitive meeting between Burnley and Norwich resulted in a 4-1 victory for the latter, in a FA Cup third round clash. Jay Rodriguez was on the scoresheet for the Clarets that day, with a consolation effort.
Recent Form
Burnley enter this game in poor form, having not won since the opening day of the season. Last weekend saw Jeff Hendrick clinch a last-minute equaliser in a game otherwise dominated by Brighton.

Norwich, while only one point ahead, head into this match with much more optimism, having overcome Pep Guardiola's Man City last weekend.
Otherwise, the Canaries have been beaten by respectable opponents in Liverpool, Chelsea and West Ham, picking up three points elsewhere versus Newcastle, in which Teemu Pukki bagged a hat-trick.
Here's how each team has performed in their last five fixtures:
Burnley | Norwich |
Brighton 1-1 Burnley (14/9) | Norwich 3-2 Man City (14/9) |
Burnley 0-3 Liverpool (31/8) | West Ham 2-0 Norwich (31/8) |
Burnley 1-3 Sunderland (28/8) | Crawley 1-0 Norwich (27/8) |
Wolves 1-1 Burnley (25/8) | Norwich 2-3 Chelsea (24/8) |
Arsenal 2-1 Burnley (17/8) | Norwich 3-1 Newcastle (17/8) |
Prediction
Norwich are on cloud nine at the moment, whereas Burnley badly need a win to stop the rot.

Burnley will surely give Norwich little space to play their football, remaining compact and difficult to beat.
That being the case, expect an even game where Norwich are frustrated.
Prediction: Burnley 1-1 Norwich.
