We have met Norwich on 16 occasions previously with just 3 wins and 7 defeats it’s fair to say we haven’t got the best of records in this particular fixture.
The first meeting came back on the 31st January 1987, a 4th round FA Cup tie, 8,095 spectators saw Division 3 Latics beat Ken Brown’s top flight Norwich City by a single goal, scored late in the game with a neat finish from Paul Jewell.
Always a close affair, in the 16 games, 6 have ended all square and 9 of the other 10 have been settled by the odd goal.
Classic Encounters
The last meeting at the DW Stadium, Sunday 14th April 2019, a 12 noon kick off, Reece James giving the Latics the lead on the stroke of half-time, Teemu Pukki equalising with 10 minutes to go and Leon Clarke having what would have been the winner disallowed for a very harsh off-side in stoppage time.
