Based on the two teams' form it wouldn't surprise me if it was a -1 all draw!Addick Addict said:Norwich have never won a PL game on a Tuesday - their record is P-14, W-0, D-3, L-11. They won't get too many better chances of doing so than tonight given that they are playing a side in Newcastle who haven't won a game in any competition this season - coincidentally a run of 14 matches too.
A draw would maintain both records. And it wouldn't be the greatest surprise if it was a goalless one at that.2 -
