The leaders host the strugglers at the Swansea.com Stadium as Swansea vs Norwich takes centre stage at Saturday lunchtime in the Championship, and on current evidence the gap looks every bit as wide as the table suggests.
Swansea went top before the international break after second-half goals from Moussa Yeo and Stephen Eustáquio earned a win at Lincoln, and they arrive chasing a third straight league win.
Norwich are in a mess. Newly promoted Bolton beat them 4-3 at home last time out. That made it three straight defeats in all competitions, and the back line has stopped functioning.
History is on the hosts' side as well. Swansea have won their last three home matches against Norwich in all competitions, so this is not a trip the Canaries will relish.
Swansea vs Norwich Form
Swansea are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 Championship matches, and the win at Lincoln put them top of the table. Moussa Yeo has found the net twice since his last two outings, while Eustáquio's goal in that game showed the engine room chipping in too. This is a possession side playing with real confidence.
Norwich have scored at least twice in each of their last four Championship matches, so the attack still works. The problem is at the other end, with 13 goals conceded in their last three outings. Losing star striker Mo Touré to a shoulder injury for months is a blow they can ill afford.

Swansea
On the Swansea vs Norwich lineups front, Josh Key is among three confirmed absentees for the hosts, alongside Burgess and Stewart. Goncalo Franco and Joseph Opoku could both return to the starting XI, while Zan Vipotnik looks set for the bench with Adam Idah ahead of him in the pecking order. The probable XI lines up in a 4-3-3.
Norwich
Mo Touré is out for months with a shoulder injury, and Jovon Makama is expected to replace him up top in a like-for-like change. Ahmed, Topic and Mahovo are also injured and Forsyth is unfit, leaving the probable 4-2-3-1 short of options.

Swansea vs Norwich Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Our Swansea vs Norwich prediction sides with the leaders, who are 11/8 with Ladbrokes to take the points. Norwich have enough going forward to make it awkward, but they leak far too much to live with this Swansea side, and we're calling a 2-1 home win.
Best Bets
Swansea to beat Norwich in the Win Market. The Championship leaders are fancied at home. Swansea remain unbeaten across the bulk of their league games this season, and they have also won their last three home matches against Norwich in all competitions. With the visitors turning up without Mo Touré, the hosts are the obvious side to be with.
Over 2.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. That line has been breached regularly at both ends of this fixture this season. Swansea's recent league outings have cleared it too, and with Norwich's defence this open and their attack still firing, the pick of our Swansea vs Norwich best bets points to a messy afternoon.
Swansea vs Norwich Bet Builder
Our Swansea vs Norwich bet builder tips combine Norwich over 1.5 goals, a Zan Vipotnik shot on target, a Filip Lissah card and Moussa Yeo to score anytime.
Norwich have scored 2+ goals in 4 of their last 4 Championship matches. The defence is the problem, not the attack, so backing them to score twice in Wales makes sense.
Vipotnik has hit the target regularly of late, landing a shot on target in 5 of his last 7 outings. He has a habit of hurting Norwich too, and even from the bench he gets his shots away.
Lissah has picked up bookings at a steady rate recently. Up against a Norwich side who love attacking down the wings, the right-back could easily end up in the book again.
Yeo found the net at Lincoln before the break and has been among the goals more often than not this term. Against a Norwich defence this generous, he's worth backing to find the net again.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 45/1 and is as short as 22/1 elsewhere.

Swansea vs Norwich Talking Points
Swansea are enjoying their strongest start to a Championship season since the 2019-20 campaign, while Norwich have the joint-worst defensive record in the division. The way Swansea attack down the right, with Opoku and the overlapping Lissah, looks tailor-made to exploit a Norwich side who struggle to defend counter attacks and stop opponents creating openings. The flip side is that Swansea are not the best at preventing teams getting shots away either, which is why Norwich's goals are no surprise. The Swansea vs Norwich betting odds have the visitors at 2/1 with Betfair Sportsbook, and that feels fair for a team who can hurt you but cannot keep the door shut.
