Norwich City will host West Bromwich Albion at Carrow Road on Saturday in the fourth round of the 2025-26 FA Cup campaign. Both teams will be keen to get a result and advance to the next round of the cup.
Norwich produced a dominant performance in their 5-1 hammering of League Two side Walsall in the third round and have since picked up five wins from six competitive games and will look to maintain that form this weekend. The Canaries, who currently sit 16th in the Championship, have failed to progress beyond the fourth round in each of their last three seasons but will fancy their chances against a side beneath them in the league.
Thanks for the submission!
West Bromwich Albion are only two points clear of the relegation zone in the Championship after 32 games and have failed win in normal time in their nine games this year. The Baggies needed penalty shootouts to see off Swansea City after a 2-2 draw in regulation time in the previous round and will be looking to advance to the fifth round for the first time since the 2019-20 season.
