Norwich travel away to face West Brom tomorrow afternoon as they look to end a run of 11 games without winning a match in all competitions.
West Brom have not lost a game at The Hawthorns since the turn of the year and Norwich are going to have to stop West Brom’s attacking threats if they are going to get the three points that they desperately need.
The Baggies do have a number of good attacking options in their ranks. James McClean, Salomon Rondon, Saido Berahino, Craig Gardner and James Morrison are all players who could cause problems for Norwich.
However, I think that Stéphane Sessègnon is the player that Norwich have to stop.
I would have gone for Rondon, as he has been scoring a lot of crucial goals for West Brom this season. Yet, I think that Timm Klose would be able to deal with him well, considering that Rondon doesn’t base his game off his pace, which is Klose’s weak point.
However, Sessegnon is the type of player that has been causing Norwich problems all season; a tricky playmaker. Sessegnon picks up the ball in the pockets between the midfield and defence, which Norwich really struggle to deal with.
Gary O’Neil and Jonny Howson will have to be on top form to stop Sessegnon from having an impact on the game. They will have to keep a close eye on the Benin international and make sure he can’t receive the ball in dangerous areas. This will limit the impact he could have on the match and give Norwich a better chance of collecting the three points.
