Pick of the stats: Wrexham v Norwich City
- Published
Norwich City fans will need their sat-nav and road maps for this one as they head to Wrexham for a league match for the first time in more than 44 years.
They will face a Wrexham side on a four-game winning run and only one point short of the play-off places.
Wrexham are set to host Norwich for a league game for the first time since September 1981. They have lost all three previous home league games against the Canaries, however.
Norwich won five of their first six league games (D1) against Wrexham between 1958 and 1982 but they were beaten 3-2 at Carrow Road earlier this season.
Wrexham have won their past four league matches, their best-ever winning run at this level of English football. Since 2004-05, the only newly-promoted Championship sides to win five in a row are QPR in 2004-05 (7), Leicester in 2009-10 (5), Bournemouth in 2013-14 (5), Brentford in 2014-15 (5) and Ipswich in 2023-24 (6).
Norwich have kept just five clean sheets in their past 45 games in all competitions, and no side has fewer Championship clean sheets this season than the Canaries (2).
Since Philippe Clement's first game in charge of Norwich on November 22, Jovon Makama has more goals in all competitions than any other Championship player (9 in 11 games), scoring an FA Cup third round hat-trick against Walsall last time out.
