"Starting with the hosts, while Norwich might have opened up the 2025/26 campaign in the midst of what was a record-breaking rut, the Canaries have come roaring back in a sensational fashion on either side of getting the New Year underway. Last seen putting in a stunning performance as they stormed their way to a 5-0 romp away at West Brom, the Norfolk-based outfit are certainly enjoying life under Philippe Clement's guidance."
"With the mood around Carrow Road at a season-high, the former Rangers boss has seen his resurgent squad come skyrocketing out of the drop zone. Extending on their FA Cup adventure earlier in the month as they secured a 5-1 victory against Walsall, Norwich have won all of their previous three domestic appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 12-2."
"As for the visitors, while Coventry might have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, the Sky Blues have only continued to shatter a string of records this time around. Despite suffering a four-match winless run across all competitions on either side of opening 2026, Frank Lampard's men hold a three-point buffer over the chasing pack. With their sights set on clinching an iconic Premier League return this season, the former Chelsea boss has seen his squad claim an essential boost over the past week."
Norwich have regained momentum under Philippe Clement, winning four of their last five matches and scoring prolifically, including 5-0 at West Brom and 5-1 versus Walsall, with three recent domestic wins by a 12-2 aggregate. Coventry sit three points clear at the top under Frank Lampard despite a four-match winless spell earlier in January. Coventry have recovered with consecutive 2-1 wins over Millwall and Leicester but conceded in recent matches, including a 3-2 loss to Birmingham, raising defensive concerns. The match at Carrow Road pits Norwich's attacking purple patch against Coventry's title-chasing resilience and defensive fragility.
