History of the Norwich City v Walsall fixture

Walsall travel to take on Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having been beaten a depressing 17 out of 24 times.

The last time the two teams met at Norwich City was back in April 2004, over five years ago, with Norwich City annihilating their visitors 5 - 0 in a League Division One match.
