Newcastle United vs Norwich City: Flashback Friday

Newcastle United vs Norwich City normally delivers fairly dull matches. The last five meetings between the sides have only delivered five goals and three results, with the other two games being 0-0 draws.

The last time these two sides met in the league was in January 2014, and they played out a 0-0 draw at Carrow Road. The fixture before that, the Magpies won 2-1, while you have to go back to 2011 to find a fixture that delivered more than three goals.
