Norwich's record is patchier: eight wins but also eight losses in the same span. A 5-0 League Cup hammering at Manchester City and a 4-3 home defeat to Middlesbrough stand out as low points, though they did beat Burnley 4-1 and Stoke City 1-0 in between.

Southampton look the more reliable of the two heading into this one.

Comparative Team Statistics: Norwich vs Southampton

Head-to-head at Carrow Road

Norwich have won the last two meetings between these sides on home soil, a 2-1 league win in December 2025 and a 3-0 League Cup win in August 2025. Southampton's most recent win in this fixture actually came away from Norwich, a 1-0 result back in March.

Over a longer history the head-to-head is fairly even, but Norwich's recent record at home against Southampton is worth noting.

That home record works in Norwich's favour if it repeats.

Where they sit in the table

Southampton are 13th after eight games, with four wins, two draws and two defeats. They've scored 19 and conceded just 10, which is a decent balance for this stage of the season.

Norwich are down in 17th, with only three wins from eight and five defeats. They've scored 16 but let in 17, and that goal difference tells its own story.

That gap in the table lines up with how each side has been playing lately.

Goals and cards to watch

Cyle Larin has been in fine form for Southampton with seven goals in eight matches, while F. Azaz has chipped in three goals and four assists of his own. Norwich's main outlet has been M. Touré, who has five goals in seven appearances.

Discipline could also play a part. Norwich's J. Córdoba already has four yellow cards in eight matches, while Southampton's F. Downes and R. Manning have three each.

Both sides have a clear focal point up front, so whoever gets more service could shape the outcome.
