Best League Win: 12-0
v Leicester City 12/04/1909
Division 1
Last meeting: Norwich
City 1, Notts Forest 0 (December
26, 2003): Ian Henderson sped
off down the right and produced
a pure peach of a cross that
curled behind the wrong-footed
Wes Morgan and gave the arriving
Mathias Svensson a gilt-edged
opportunity to get his home
debut off to a flying start.
This game will, however, be
remembered more for Darren Huckerby
becoming a permanent Norwich
City player before kick-off.
Last Norwich away win:
17/03/1993 Notts Forest 0, Norwich
City 3
Chances: On
the up after several years in
the doldrums, things seem to
be happening again at the City
Ground. Forest have gone big
on strikers this summer, with
the arrival of Robert Earnshaw
and the veteran Andrew Cole
although their acquisitions
have been slightly offset by
the loss of Kris Commons to
rivals Derby. However, they
can be shaky at the back and
last season’s player of
the year Julian Bennett will
need another fine campaign.
Look a good bet for mid-table.
