Saints will be looking to recover strongly from consecutive Barclays Premier League defeats as we travel to Norwich this Saturday.
Recent losses to Newcastle and QPR have somewhat tempered the progress made by the team in recent months, but victory at Carrow Road this weekend would put Mauricio Pochettino`s men right back on track
Norwich come into this game on the back of a 4-0 defeat at Manchester United last weekend, though their last home fixture saw them pull off an impressive 2-1 win over Everton.
