Comments:

League position: 20th Norwich City had not now won a game in the Premier League since 23 November 2019; longer than any other team currently in the division. The Canaries had now lost four of their last five games in the Premier League and won one of their last 14 in the division (lost ten). City had now played more games in the Premier League on Boxing Day without a win than any other team (played seven, lost six).
