Norwich City host Newcastle at Carrow Road in the Premier League on Saturday in their second match of the season.
The Canaries lost 4-1 to Liverpool at Anfield on the opening day and will be hoping to fare better against Steve Bruce’s side this weekend.
Ahead of the match, Norwich shared a famous goal from former midfielder Youssef Safri against Newcastle.

READ NORWICH VERDICT
There is no denying that Safri’s goal was a sensational strike and, arguably, one of the best Premier League goals in Norwich history.
Daniel Farke will be hoping one of his midfielders can pull off something like that this weekend – Marco Stiepermann anyone? Who wouldn’t want to see Stiep score from 40-yards before doing his infamous crab celebration in front of the Barclay stand? I certainly would…
Although, Norwich were relegated from the Premier League under Nigel Worthington that season – so hopefully Farke’s men manage to avoid the drop this year, after a sensational Championship-winning campaign last term!
