Norwich, by contrast, was much worse off, losing 5-0 to Arsenal in the last round and being hanged away from home in this round.
As a famous Premier League lift, the "Canary" wants to survive in the top league and needs the double blessing of strength and luck. In the summer window this year, as many of the main players were poached, the team was even more difficult. Although the team also made a change of coach in the middle, and Dean Smith also won three consecutive unbeaten games after taking office, but with all the last five defeats, the flame of hope has been extinguished. What is even more desperate is that in 5 games, Norwich did not score a single goal, conceding 14 goals. They became the first team in Premier League history to lose five league games in a single month without scoring a goal.
The dismal record at the beginning also allowed Norwich to secure the position of deputy squad leader of the league. This season, they may have taken another round of the top flight.
