Norwich City face a quick return to Middlesbrough this Saturday aiming to overturn a daunting recent record. The Canaries have not beaten Boro in nine league meetings, a run that includes a 4-3 defeat just five days ago.
That result left Norwich 14th in the Championship table with nine points from seven games. Their form has been inconsistent, with three wins and two losses in their last five outings, a pattern reflected in their standings position.
Saturday's hosts are in strong form at the Riverside, having won their last four home league games. Norwich, meanwhile, have lost three of their last four visits to Teesside and failed to score in the last two. The Canaries' 2026 form has been strong with 17 Championship wins this calendar year, a joint-league high with Southampton.
Key forward Mohamed Toure, who opened the scoring in the midweek defeat, leads the team's scoring charts this season with four goals. He will be vital as Norwich look to break their Middlesbrough hoodoo. The squad will be without Ali Ahmed, Lucien Mahovo and Mirko Topić for the trip north.
After this fixture, attention turns to a home game against Bolton Wanderers next weekend.
