Recent history between Norwich and Newcastle guarantees goals.
A total of no fewer than 28 goals have been scored between the two sides against each other in the last five matches. Those matches include the two stunning victories in October 2015 - when Georginio Wijnaldum scored four goals to give Newcastle a 6-2 win - and in September 2016 which saw Dwight Gayle bag a hat-trick to help the Toon win 4-3 with a 96th minute winner coming from Gayle after Norwich went 3-1 up in the 69th minute.
The Magpies have a superb record against Norwich City at St. James' Park. The Canaries have not secured any points on Tyneside since August 2004 when they came from two goals down to snatch a point in what was Sir Bobby Robson's final home match in charge prior to his sacking in his last managerial role. In addition to that, you will have to go back 32 years to 1988 for the last time Norwich won a game in Newcastle's back yard.
