Best League Win: 8-1 v Millwall 16/01/1932 Division 2

Last meeting: Plymouth Argyle 3, Norwich City 1 (September 23, 2006): A depressing 3-1 defeat meant Nigel Worthington’s men had taken just one point of a possible 12 from the last four games. Plymouth took the lead after 14 minutes when Gary Doherty inadvertently deflected a corner from Tony Capaldi into his own net. Two minutes into the second half Marcel Seip extended the home side’s lead, heading home unchallenged from another Capaldi flag kick. Norris made it 3-0 after 74 minutes after a fine solo run. Earnshaw grabbed a consolation goal three minutes into stoppage time. Full Match Report

Last Norwich away win: 23/11/1963 Plymouth 1 (Lord), Norwich 2 (Bryceland, Davies)

Chances: A quiet summer for the eccentric Ian Holloway and his team after a successful season last time round. The former QPR boss will have been disappointed to lose Capaldi, but still has a reasonably strong squad at his disposal. The Pilgrims surprised many last season, including Norwich, with the level of their performances - Ian Holloway's men easily beat the Canaries in both their league meetings and, in Hungarian Akos Buzsaky, have one of the outstanding midfielders in the Championship. A solid and tough team, Argyle will find it difficult to improve on last season’s 11th place finish, but Holloway will demand more nonetheless. The 35-year-old Barry Hayles continues to score goals and if Plymouth hit the ground running they will fancy their chances of a place in the play-offs.
Prediction: 14th
