Match Preview/Stats/Thread: Newcastle Utd v Norwich City
By Tyne-Talk
November 22 2013
Newcastle United host Norwich City tomorrow afternoon on the back of two solid wins against Spurs and Chelsea. Newcastle have won three, lost two and drawn one of their last six games in all competitions but have kept two consecutive clean sheets in their last two matches. Norwich City travel on the back of one win, four defeats and a draw from their last six games in which they have conceded 18 goals in games against Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Alan Pardew will be without Mathieu Debuchy who is suspended for picking up 5 yellow cards so far this season but everyone else is fit.
Fabricio Coloccini (groin), Steven Taylor (hamstring) and Paul Dummett (hamstring) are all available for selection and Jonas Gutierrez has returned from his home country.
Pardew’s only concern can be that many of his team have been away on International duty rather than making the most of the two week Premier League break.
Former Newcastle United manager Chris Hughton will be without Ricky van Wolfswinkel (toe) and Mark Bunn (ankle), whilst Alexander Tettey (ankle) and Elliot Bennett (knee) are both still unavailable.
Anthony Pilkington (hamstring) is expected to be fit.
Fact: 8 out the last 10 games between the two sides have ended in home wins.
Fact: Loic Remy has scored 7 goals in his last 7 games.
Fact: Newcastle have scored the most goals from outside the box this season in the Premier League (5).

C'mon Cisse
How unusual is that?
3 wins in a row. How fantastic is that?
Annie, the offside when Cisse scored was a bit of a contentious one, from their waists down they were level, cisse was leaning towards goal and the defender was leaning away from goal, what part of your body determines that your offside?
Debuchy will be back for the next match, who will give way for him, personally i would drop Colo, our defence has done well without him and he was our poorest player today.
