Last meeting: Norwich City 1, Blackburn Rovers 1 (January 1, 2001): Norwich City failed to make their numerical advantage tell as what could have been Nigel Worthington’s final match ended in a disappointing draw on New Year's Day. The Canaries looked set for their third win under the caretaker manager when they went into the break ahead thanks to Adrian Forbes 32nd-minute goal – and playing against only 10 men following the dismissal of Mark Hughes. But the visitors secured a point just after the hour through an excellent solo effort from Marcus Bent.

Chances: Only a late surge of form saved Rovers from the drop last season. Souness has invested wisely over the close season and will go all out to make sure his men are competing at the other end of the table again this time around, with Stead providing the goals.
