Norwich Team News
Norwich was relegated from the Premier League last season and this season they are once again one of the favourites for promotion.
But the season started poorly and they decided to sack manager Dean Smith at the start of January. They were in 11th place in the table and the playoffs starts to become unattainable.
Norwich has appointed David Wagner as a new manager. He was working as a manager of Huddersfield Town a couple of seasons ago and managed to archive promotion to the Premier League with them.
Wagner started very well. He has six wins, two defeats, and a draw in nine games at Carrow Road. With him, Norwich climbed to 6th place and they are now in a much better position to catch the playoffs.
With Wagner, Norwich failed to score three times and kept three clean sheets. But he improved his attack a lot. Before him Norwich has an average of 1.23 goals per game, now with Wagner, they are scoring 2.11 goals per game.
Norwich is struggling at home this season and at Carrow Road, they have eight wins and six defeats. But they improved their form recently and they now have three consecutive wins.
Sunderland Team News
Sunderland was promoted from League One last season and for the most part of the season, they were one of the biggest surprises in the league. They lose a manager Alex Neil at the start of the season, who decided to take a job at Stoke, they appointed Tony Mowbray and with him, they became a much better team.
Mowbray kept Sunderland in the top 6 for a larger part of the season, but injuries start to make life much more difficult and they got in a bad run. They lost Ross Stewart, their best striker and player, for this season, and they made the mistake of not signing a good striker in January.
Sunderland is now four games without a win and they have three consecutive defeats. They have slipped from 6th to 11th place in the table. In the last 10 games, they have had three wins.
They are scoring goals regularly and they scored at least a goal in the last 16 league games, but they conceded more and in the last three games they have conceded nine goals.
The Black Cats have a very difficult schedule in the next few weeks and they will have to play against Norwich (6th), Sheffield United (2nd), Luton (5th), and Burnley (1st).

Norwich vs Sunderland Prediction
With David Wagner, Norwich started to play much better football and from the middle table, they made a progress to the top 6. They are in a very good run and got in the right mood at the best time of the season.
Sunderland is starting to lose a step with the top 6 zones. They are in the run of three consecutive defeats, has a lot of injury problems, and have a terrible schedule in the next few weeks. They were brilliant this season but the playoff is too much for them at the moment.
We believe that Norwich is capable of winning this game.
