On Sunday, March 12, Norwich City and Sunderland will meet for the final time in the 36th round of the EFL Championship at the Carrow Road Stadium. The Dark Felines head into the end of the week on a three-game-long string of failures and will hope to end this drought.
In contrast, Norwich beat Millwall pulsatingly 3-2 on Saturday to leapfrog Millwall into the playoffs. Since their 1-0 defeat to Bristol City on February 11, the Canaries have won four and drawn one of their five league games. Norwich is sixth in the Championship with 55 points from 35 games, one point behind Millwall, and just outside the playoffs.
In the meantime, Sunderland’s humiliating 5-1 home loss to Stoke City prevented them from reaching the top half of the standings. The Black Cats have only managed to pick up one point out of the last twelve games, failing to win any of their last four contests. With 49 focuses from 35 games, Sunderland is eleventh in the Title yet could move level on focuses with eighth-put Coventry City with a success this end of the week.
