Norwich (A) - Pre Match Thread

[Trojan63]

Wow, Norwich have a lot of potential absentees.

Zimmermann, Trybull, Hanley, Krul, Godfrey, Klose, Aarons, Vrancic, Leitner, and Roberts is obviously ineligible.

Phew what a relief that those lot are out - we may have a chance of a draw if they are missing their star players !

They are a decent side who play good, attacking football. They get the ball forward very quickly on the turnover and if we have an Achilles heel, it is that. I expect us to win comfortably in a match of high quality, played in the right way.

Safe journey folks. Was going to go to this but quite simply too tired after a busy few weeks. Let's hope it's a good game.

We will create between 15 - 20 chances today maybe more, we could quite easily score 9 today, and thats no disrespect to Norwich.

Head to head record takes precedent over goal difference for the first time this year, so GD will likely be irrelevant.

No it doesn’t.

It’s still GD. Head to head is used after GD instead of GS.

 

[SWP's back]

Yes, it's nice to be positive and assume we'll come out ahead of the two dipper fixtures, but two draws or split victories are a very real possibility.

Again, head to head isn’t the deciding factor. It’s still GD.

 

[SWP's back]

No, the PL changed the immediate tiebreaker to head-to-head starting this season.

You need to read it again. And read all of it.

 

[SWP's back]

Ahead of the 2019/20 season, we look at the new things to keep an eye out for in the Premier League.

Head-to-head records
If two or more clubs finish level in the table when competing for the title or European qualification, or when relegation is at stake, their records in the head-to-head matches will now be used to separate them.

In previous seasons, teams involved in these specific battles who finished with the same points total, goal difference and number of goals scored would be pitted against each other in a playoff.

You need to read the whole thing Seb posted.

It’s badly worded and the bit you quote would lead you to believe head to head comes before GD. The bit below shows it’s not the case.
