Watch out for this fact
It has been 17 years since Plymouth last won at Carrow Road. It happened in January 2007 in an EFL Championship match where they won 1-3 on the scoreboard.
Plymouth's goal is to stay in the top flight
With 41 points and in 18th position, they are currently in the relegation places, but only two points above the relegation zone.
Norwich City aiming to consolidate their Playoff position
They are currently in sixth place with 61 points in the Playoff places, but lurking behind are Hull City, Coventry City and Preston North End.
First time in the call
Guilherme Montóia makes his debut in the Norwich City squad and has come in at the eleventh hour. The 21-year-old left-back is currently with Norwich City's youth team.
Statement by Ian Foster (Plymouth coach)
"This is a soccer club that is used to winning soccer matches, and we may not have done that consistently enough in the Championship, but that's the nature of the beast. It's an incredibly difficult division. It's probably the tightest division of the four. For us to stay there would mean a lot."
On Norwich City he explained that "they are on a fantastic run of late. We have to go to Carrow Road and find a way to upset them. We are capable of doing that. It will be very difficult, but we're looking forward to it. They're a really expansive team. They put numbers on you at the back, they try to overload you in the central areas. They have wonderfully talented players, but we'll go there with a plan and try to get the result we want."
