Bolton Wanderers face a difficult task to improve their poor away record when they visit Norwich City at Carrow Road on Sunday. The Championship fixture pits a side yet to win on the road this season against a team with a strong historical hold over them.
Norwich have won six of the past eight league meetings between the clubs, with Bolton's last victory at Carrow Road coming under Sam Allardyce in November 2000. Since that 2-0 win, Wanderers have lost four of their subsequent five league visits to Norfolk, drawing the other. The Canaries completed a league double over Bolton as recently as the 2018-19 season.
Ian Evatt's side are one of seven Championship teams still searching for a first away win this term. They could lose three consecutive away league matches for the first time since a run of seven defeats in January 2022. Their current league position of 21st, with seven points from seven games, shows the need for points.
Norwich present a mixed statistical picture, having scored 13 goals but conceded the same number. Only Burnley have let in more in the division. They have also failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 14 league outings, a run only bettered by Preston, Chelsea and Burnley across England's top four tiers.
Bolton's recent form shows one win in their last five matches, a 1-0 home victory over Cardiff City last time out. They will be without the injured Lewis Brunt and Luca Stephenson for the trip. The full schedule of upcoming fixtures is available on the club's fixtures page, while the latest standings show the tight nature of the Championship table.
