The two bottom clubs in the Premier League meet on Friday night when Norwich host Watford. Opta presents the tale of the tape.

"Watford are the only Premier League side this season to have no players score more than once in the competition, with all six of their goals coming from different players. Indeed, in all competitions Roberto Pereyra is the only player to net more than once for the Hornets this term."

Under 2.5 goals is 2.3611/8.

Norwich have won three of their last four league meetings with Watford (L1), with this the first such encounter since a 4-2 victory in May 2016 in the Premier League. The Canaries are 2.747/4 to win.

Watford haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last 12 away league games against Norwich (W5 D1 L6) since a 0-0 draw in February 1988 in the top-flight with Tony Coton in goal. Over 2.5 goals is 1.674/6.

In a run stretching back to November 2013, Norwich have won just one of their last 48 Premier League games in which they conceded the first goal (W1 D5 L42), losing 22 of the last 23. A Watford win is 2.6213/8.

Watford have failed to win any of their opening 11 Premier League games this season (W0 D5 L6) - only five teams have failed to win their opening 12, most recently QPR in 2012-13, who won none of their first 16 and went on to finish bottom. The draw is 3.814/5.

Norwich haven't kept a clean sheet in any of their last nine home Premier League games, their longest such run since their first 10 games at Carrow Road in the 2011-12 season. They've conceded more than once in seven of those nine games, shipping 22 goals in total. Both teams to score is 1.574/7.

This is the third time this season Watford have started the day bottom and faced the team in 19th at the start of that day, drawing 1-1 with Newcastle in August and losing 2-0 against Wolves in September. Norwich are 2.01/1 in the Draw No Bet market.

The team starting the day bottom of the Premier League has won just once in their last 35 attempts (W1 D12 L22), with Huddersfield Town winning 1-0 against Wolves in February 2019. Norwich are 1.68/13 Double Chance.

Norwich City's Teemu Pukki scored with five of his first 11 shots in the Premier League - since then, the Finnish forward has scored with just one of his 19 efforts at goal. Pukki is 2.26/5 to get back among the goals.

Watford are the only Premier League side this season to have no players score more than once in the competition, with all six of their goals coming from different players. Indeed, in all competitions Roberto Pereyra is the only player to net more than once for the Hornets this term. Under 2.5 goals is 2.3611/8.
