A poor run of form means Norwich boss Liam Manning is under increasing pressure

Norwich manager Liam Manning is under increasing pressure after a four-match losing run and it seems nothing but a win will do when the Canaries head to Swansea on Saturday.

The Swans may have claimed just one victory in seven but will see the home match against Norwich as an opportunity to get back to winning ways and move further away from the drop zone that Manning and his team currently find themselves in.

Team news

Swansea midfielder Malick Yalcouye is unavailable after being sent off in the midweek defeat by QPR. Ethan Galbraith will likely return to the middle of the park after filling in at the back, while defender Josh Key could start.

Norwich will be without striker Ante Crnac for the rest of the season after the Croatian ruptured his ACL in the loss at Derby.

Mathias Kvistgaarden is back in training after suffering a knee injury and is in contention to feature in south Wales. However, Amankwah Forson is still a week away from a return.

The stats

Swansea City have lost just one of their last five league games against Norwich City (W3, D1), though that sole defeat did come in their last such meeting, a 5-1 loss at Carrow Road in January this year.

Norwich City have lost five of their last seven away league games against Swansea City (W2), failing to score in four of those defeats.

Swansea are winless across their last five home league games (D3, L2); their longest run since December 2023 (six games).

Norwich have lost each of their last four league games in succession, last losing five in a row in the Championship in November 2016.

Prediction

While Swansea’s current run could be described as a sticky patch, Norwich are nearing crisis territory and could well move to dismiss boss Manning if a positive result isn’t recorded on Saturday.

The Swans under Alan Sheehan have seen solid early season form unravel into three defeats in six and only one victory during that period. However, with the visit of Norwich, Swansea will be aiming to make home advantage count to get back to winning ways.

While Norwich have lost their last four games, the Canaries have also failed to score in three of those clashes, losing each match by a scoreline of 1-0.

That same result is likely again in south Wales, with the Swans showing enough in recent weeks to suggest they can bounce back from recent disappointments.

With Norwich in the relegation zone, the hierarchy may not have a choice but to make a change in the dugout if another defeat comes Manning’s way. That’s how huge this fixture is for him and the Carrow Road club.
