What channel is Watford vs Norwich? Kick-off time, TV channel and live stream details

Watford and Norwich will lock horns on Friday night in the Premier League as both sides go in search of a huge three points in their bids to beat the drop.

The Hornets head into this match a point and a place above Norwich as they sit in 17th, where a win would steer them four points clear of the drop zone and provide a huge boost to their relegation fight.

Claudio Ranieri’s side also have two games in hand on their visitors, but have failed to win a top-flight match since the 4-1 victory over Manchester United on November 20.

The Canaries, meanwhile, looked down and out before Christmas but a 2-1 win against Everton last weekend has helped to keep them in the fight for survival.

Dean Smith has picked up a few good results since he took charge in November, but his side still desperately need points, and a win here would see them leapfrog their hosts and out of the relegation zone.

Will either of these sides survive the drop this season? Have your say in the comments section below.

When is Watford vs Norwich?

Watford vs Norwich will kick-off at 8pm on Friday, January 21 at Vicarage Road.

The last meeting between these two sides came back in September, when the Hornets left Carrow Road with all three points following a 3-1 victory.

Emmanuel Dennis put the visitors ahead, before Teemu Pukki ensured the sides were level at the break, but Ismaila Sarr scored a second half double to down the Canaries to inflict their fifth successive defeat in the league.
