Norwich vs West Brom Prediction: Canaries to sing their way into the fifth round

An all-Championship affair takes place in the FA Cup fourth round on Saturday between Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion at Carrow Road (15:00 GMT). The Canaries are on a two-game winning streak ahead of this clash, and were also 5-0 winners at The Hawthorns when they met the Baggies in the league in January.

Below you will find my Norwich vs West Brom predictions, aided by the latest match odds and team news.

Team News

Norwich forward Jovon Makama is set to miss the rest of the season because of a foot injury he picked up against Blackburn Rovers , while Papa Amadou Diallo faces a lengthy lay-off after getting injured in the warm-up of the same game.

Ante Crnac, Shane Duffy, Gabriel Forsyth, Pelle Mattsson and Harry Amass are also ruled out.

New signing Mohamed Toure is set to lead the line again after scoring four goals in his first two appearances for the club.

Football Odds

George Cameron and Karlan Grant are absent for West Brom with hamstring issues, while Chris Mepham missed the game against Birmingham City on Tuesday because of an injury he picked up last weekend against Stoke City.

The likes of Daryl Dike and Mikey Johnston will be pushing to start from the off at Carrow Road.

Today's Football Fixtures

Norwich vs West Brom Odds

Norwich have won five of their last six matches heading into this contest and they are 5/4 (implied probability of 44.4%) to prevail in regulation time.

West Brom have drawn their previous two fixtures ahead of the weekend and the stalemate is priced at 12/5. Albion are 21/10 to win inside 90 minutes.

BTTS - No has been a winning selection in both team's past two games, and it is on offer at 11/10 on this occasion.

Match Result - Norwich @ 5/4

Norwich have improved massively since Philippe Clement replaced Liam Manning in November, and having spent the early parts of the season in the Championship in the relegation zone, the Canaries are in a position to mount a play-off push.

They come into this cup tie in good form with five wins from six in the league. They should fancy their chances to beat a West Brom side who have been struggling in the second tier for months.

The Baggies may have just posted back-to-back draws, but they remain winless on their travels in 14 matches across all competitions (excluding extra time and penalties). It is hard to see them turning Norwich over given the hosts' current form.

Norwich have two wins on the spin coming into Saturday and I am backing them to make it three against Eric Ramsay's charges.

Clean Sheet - Norwich @ 2/1

I also believe there is value to be had in backing the home team to keep a clean sheet on Saturday. At 2/1, this is an excellent price considering Norwich have shut out their opponents in their recent victories against Blackburn Rovers and Oxford United.

Their defence wasn't breached when they hammered West Brom 5-0 at The Hawthorns last month, and the Baggies have now failed to score in four of their previous five appearances before heading to Carrow Road.
