Preview
Norwich eye qualification as they face Bournemouth in their 2nd round match of the Carabao Cup on Tuesday at home.
The Canaries have not begun their season well at all following successive defeats against Liverpool and Manchester City respectively.
They have conceded 8 and scored no goals in both the matches and it already looks like tough times ahead for Daniel Farke.
His side have been poor on return to the top flight and they need a significant turnaround to get their season back on track.

Bournemouth look in better shape and form at the moment and we expect them to beat their ex- Championship opposition, Norwich.
