Crystal Palace can move into the top half of the table with a win over Norwich. Opta weighs up the odds.

"Selhurst Park has seen a joint league-low three goals scored this season among all Premier League grounds."

Under 2.5 goals is 2.26/5.

Crystal Palace and Norwich City last faced in the Premier League in 2015-16, with the Eagles completing a double over the Canaries. Another Crystal Palace win is 2.01/1.

Norwich are winless in their last 15 away league matches against Crystal Palace (W0 D5 L10) since winning 1-0 in the second-tier in May 1996 under Gary Megson. The draw is 3.9.

In every Premier League season that Crystal Palace and Norwich have met, at least one of the sides has been relegated - Palace in 1992-93, both sides in 1994-95 and 2004-05, and Norwich in 2013-14 and 2015-16. Norwich are 2.915/8 to be relegated, with Crystal Palace at 5.39/2.

Norwich are winless in their last 19 Premier League away games in London (W0 D6 L13); should they fail to win this match, they will be the seventh team to go 20 games without an away Premier League win in the capital and the first since Leicester City in 2015. The draw half-time/Crystal Palace full-time double result is 5.59/2.

Norwich have lost 12 of their last 13 away Premier League games (W1 D0 L12), scoring only three goals across those 13 matches. Crystal Palace are 3.814/5 to win to nil.

Selhurst Park has seen a joint league-low three goals scored this season among all Premier League grounds. Under 2.5 goals is 2.26/5.

Norwich's Premier League games this season have seen 12 goals scored in the opening 30 minutes of the match (four goals scored, eight goals conceded) - no side has seen more in this time (Manchester City also 12). Over 2.5 goals is 1.84/5.

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson has lost his last two matches against Norwich in all competitions, losing twice with West Brom in January 2012 in the Premier League and FA Cup. Norwich are 4.03/1 to win.

Teemu Pukki's six Premier League goals this season have been worth five points to Norwich, while he's also scored what turned out to be the winning goal in both of their victories so far this term. Pukki is 2.77/4 to score.

Teemu Pukki has been involved in 89% of Norwich's nine Premier League goals this season (6 goals, 2 assists) and has also taken 36% of their 59 shots (21) - both are league-high ratios so far this season. He's 6.05/1 to score the first goal.
