Norwich City sit 19th in the Championship table after nine matches, with three wins and six defeats to their name. They are in the bottom third of a 24-team table and have lost their last three matches in succession, picking up six points from their last five outings. Their recent results include defeats to Swansea, Bolton and Middlesbrough, as well as wins over Birmingham and Sheffield United.
Southampton arrive in 13th place, mid-table, with 13 points from five wins, two draws and two defeats. They have taken 10 points from their last five matches, a sequence that includes wins over Portsmouth, Bristol City and Swansea, as well as a defeat to Wrexham. The visitors come into Wednesday's match as the more settled side in recent weeks.
The two teams are separated by four points in the Championship table, with Norwich below Southampton. A 24-team table means the distance between positions can shift sharply across a round of fixtures, and both clubs will be aware of where they stand heading into matchday 10.
The head-to-head record between these sides is split from their two most recent meetings. Southampton won 1-0 when the sides met in March 2026, while Norwich claimed a 2-1 victory at home in December 2025. Both fixtures have been decided by a single goal.
Kick-off at Carrow Road is at 18:45 UTC.
