Crystal Palace face a trip to Norwich City at on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 31 out of 47 times.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was almost exactly a year ago, in August 2004, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1 - 1 final scoreline in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides
Norwich City's last six games at home see them in decent form. They won their last four at Carrow Road in the Premiership, and have started the new season with two home draws. A total of eight goals have been scored by the Canaries in those games, with three conceded.
By contrast, Palace's midweek defeat at Molineux saw their poor away form from last season carry over into the new campaign. The Eagles have managed a paltry two draws from the last six away matches. While four goals have hit the back of the right net, 13 have been shipped.
The early table shows Norwich just below half way in the Coca Cola Championship, showing a record of two points from their two games played so far. Palace's pointless start to the season finds them rooted to the bottom of the division.
