Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Manchester United travel to Carrow Road to face Norwich City on Sunday, October 27. Manchester United are just two points above the relegation zone, having secured a total of just two wins in the Premier League so far. Daniel Farke's Norwich City, however, are second-bottom in the Premier League after securing just seven points after nine Premier League games.
Manchester United will be boosted by the return of Anthony Martial and David de Gea. Anthony Martial scored the only goal in United's Europa League victory against Partizan Belgrade in their mid-week fixture. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be hoping that United's strikeforce will have a field day against Norwich City. United have scored just 10 goals in the Premier League so far, with four of those coming in their opening day victory against Chelsea. Having seen Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez depart to Inter Milan n the summer transfer window, the Red Devils find themselves a little short of firepower this season.
The goalscoring responsibilities for the game against Norwich will rest on the shoulders of Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Daniel James. Having seen goals hard to come by this season, United will be hoping that the fully fit trio against Norwich on Sunday. With David de Gea being afforded rest during their mid-week Europa League win over Partizan Belgrade, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have a close to full-strength squad to pick from, with only Eric Bailly being on the long term injury list for the Red Devils.
Norwich City vs Manchester United: Goalscoring struggles for both sides
Daniel Farke, however, will be sweating over Norwich's form in recent fixtures. Having seen Norwich concede a total of 21 goals so far, Daniel Farke will be hoping that his defence comes good against a side that has struggled to score in recent fixtures. Interestingly, Norwich have scored the same number of goals as Manchester United this season. Farke will also be hoping that Teemu Pukki returns to form after the Finnish striker failed to score in their last three games.
