Mark Lawrenson predicts scoreline and winner in Everton clash v Norwich
Everton have been backed to run out comfortable 2-0 winners against Norwich on Saturday by Mark Lawrenson.
The Toffees began the season strongly, but have lost their last two games in all competitions and heads could have slightly dropped inside the dressing room.
However, the BBC pundit does not see that causing a problem as Norwich themselves have been in a big mess.
In his BBC column, he wrote, “Everton got taken apart in the space of about 10 minutes at Aston Villa but their problems are nothing compared to Norwich’s situation.
“The Canaries have lost all five of their games so far and were beaten at home by Watford last weekend.
“They got their only away win of the season at Goodison Park in 2019-20, the last time they were in the Premier League, but it is hard to see them winning a game anywhere at the moment.”
Must win
Nothing gets seasons back on track like a good run of form and Everton have the chance to start one here.
Norwich are favourites to go down and will have a hard time at most away venues this season in the Premier League.
While the Toffees’ home form has been far from impressive since last season, there are no excuses for not winning this game.
Injuries are part and parcel of this game and this will provide the opportunity for someone else to come and put in a good performance.
Rafa Benitez will be happy with the application some of his players have shown recently and it will now be down to getting results on a consistent basis.
Hopefully, Lucas Digne is fit and ready for this one as the side do not have the same threat without him in the team.
