Swansea vs Norwich prediction, odds and how to watch

Norwich beat Birmingham 2-1 at Carrow Road thanks to first-half goals from Oscar Schwartau and Papa Amadou Diallo, before Carlos Vicente pulled one back for the visitors. A night of ill-discipline from the home side nearly cost them dearly.

Swansea put Derby to the sword at Pride Park, winning 3-0 with goals from Joseph Opoku, Ji-sung Eom and substitute Ronald. Derby had 23 shots and nine saves to beat, and still could not score. That tells you everything.

Norwich put four past Burnley at Carrow Road, with Mohamed Touré and Andre Brooks doing the damage early and often. Burnley had 63% possession and a red card to show for it.

Norwich took the points at Cardiff City Stadium with a 25th-minute headed goal, but the possession numbers and shot map raise real questions about how each side set up for this Carabao Cup tie.
