3 bold Premier League predictions: Martial bags double at Norwich

1. Anthony Martial bags double as United win at Norwich

Manchester United saw a slight upturn in their fortunes last week when they became the first side to take any points from Liverpool this season. The Red Devils worked their gameplan well and may have felt a little aggrieved not to take all three points after Adam Lallana’s late equaliser.

That result should buy Ole Gunnar Solskjaer some time in the managerial hotseat and also give his players more confidence on the pitch. United also managed to pick up three points in the Europa League on Thursday which has given them a good platform going into this weekend’s match with Norwich.

Norwich with the Premier League’s darlings at the beginning of the season with the way they played their soccer and some good results against the likes of Newcastle and Manchester City. However, Daniel Farke’s side are looking more and more like the newly-promoted side they are with only one point taken from their last four matches.

The Canaries have another big ask this weekend when they host Manchester United at Carrow Road. The good news for their fans is that they seem to turn up against the big teams so they won’t go down without a fight against United.

Farke’s side will challenge United going forward but it’s defensively where Norwich struggle and will continue to struggle throughout this season. Manchester United’s last two games has given the players a little reassurance and that will show this weekend when they win comfortably.

Anthony Martial will be the catalyst for all things good on Sunday and the Frenchman will bag a double either side of a Marcus Rashford goal. Norwich will score a late consolation but they won’t have enough to challenge Solskjaer’s side.
