Norwich welcome Everton to Carrow Road this weekend with both sides in desperate need of a win - but what happened when they met back in September? The Toffees made it three home wins out of three for the first time at the start of the season since against the still pointless Canaries.
Everton had made a great start to life under Rafa Benitez but disappointing defeats by Aston Villa and QPR in the previous seven days had left fans frustrated. Andros Townsend put them ahead with a first-half penalty after Allan was fouled by Ozan Kabak but there were nerves around Goodison Park as Norwich pressed for an equaliser. Those supporters were grateful for Abdoulaye Doucoure's late intervention as he clinically finished off Demarai Gray's pass to seal the win.
There's a new manager in the Norwich dugout now and Dean Smith will be targeting the current struggles of Benitez's side as an opportunity to end the Canaries' recent malaise on Saturday.
Yet they still lost at London Stadium, conceded two soft goals and, for the sixth league game in a row, the Canaries failed to score. City have a meagre eight goals in 20 Premier League games this season. Their last goal and point in the league came at Newcastle on the final day of November. Frustration is growing amongst supporters.
They expected this City squad to put up a much better fight to stay in the Premier League. They play Everton h and Watford a next. If their losing run continues in those games any realistic chance of staying up could be gone before January is out. West Ham have won each of their last three league matches, this after having only won one of their seven before Wednesday drawn two, lost four. Norwich have scored just eight goals in 20 Premier League games this season; in English top-flight history, only Leicester City in have scored as few in their opening 20 matches of a campaign.
Norwich have failed to score in each of their last six Premier League games, now their longest consecutive run of league matches without scoring since they joined the Football League in The Hammers have won each of their last three league meetings with Norwich; they had only won three of their previous 17 league games against the Canaries before this drawn eight, lost six.
There was little to choose between the sides during the early stages of this contest but once West Ham upped their intensity the gulf in quality quickly became evident. His movement was excellent throughout and on another occasion he may have left London Stadium with the match ball, having twice hit the woodwork and seen another effort ruled out.
The only consolation for relegation-threatened Norwich, who have now lost six top-flight matches in a row - having failed to score in all of them - is that they remain within touching distance of fellow strugglers Watford, Newcastle and Burnley.
However, unless they can turn their neat and tidy passing into goals soon, their hopes of survival will recede. I felt it was a fairly even game in the first half and we restricted them to one goal. We look like we lack a bit of confidence in the final third. I feel at times we refrain from pulling the trigger. I have got a committed and honest bunch of players.
