33/1 to Break Derby's Record: The Norwich Specials 2021/22

Norwich City's start to the latest Premier League season has been utterly torrid. The club are currently rooted to the bottom of the table and have seen an almighty 14 goals go in from just five goals, while they have only scored two where Teemu Pukki has once again been the difference.

As of now, it seems almost certain that they are in for a long season and all of this comes off the back of the majority tipping them to go down anyway. The club are branded as a 'yo-yo' side, reiterating the fact they consistently bounce between the Championship and the Premier League and now looks like their worst attempt at staying up in the last decade.

Eventually, they will pick up points. However, after losing 3-1 at home to a potential relegation-fighter, Watford, it was a clear sign that this may not come just yet, and no doubt, they are a distance away from a victory right now.

With this in mind, the Norwich to get relegated odds are at 4/9 and for the Canaries to stay up, they are priced at 11/4, and in reality, 4/9 is incredibly short given their current form and history in these circumstances.

Currently, with two goals scored from five games, based on the current ratio of two goals in five games, it's hit or miss as to whether or not they will surpass 20 goals this campaign - Derby hold the record of 20 goals scored for the least bagged in a Premier League season. The odds are a massive 200/1 to score less than 20 goals in the 2021/22 campaign.

As alluded to, right now there doesn't seem to be much of an argument for Norwich winning any of their next few games and at odds of 14/1 you can get the Canaries to lose against Everton (A), Burnley (A), Brighton (H), Chelsea (A), and Leeds (H).

Everton's form is topsy-turvy so far as they seem to turn up under Rafael Benitez sometimes, but as they proved against Aston Villa, the club are far from the finished product and Norwich may have a chance here. The same applies to Burnley, but given how this game is at Turf Moor, it's tough to argue their case here too.

As of now, a trip to Brighton should worry anybody, as they have started in fantastic form and we don't see how the Canaries get a win here also. You can pretty much write off any points for them at Stamford Bridge based on the current form of both sides, but hosting Leeds United may give them hope.

However, this game comes right at the end of October and a lot can happen before them.

Derby County's 2007/08 season is officially the worst team in Premier League history and this campaign remains one of the worst ever top flight performances across Europe's top five leagues.

The Rams would register just 11 points from the 38 games throughout the entire season and in truth, despite a bad start to the season, it was actually the first six games of the season in which they picked up the most points (4). After drawing with Portsmouth on the opening day of the season, Derby beat Newcastle United, which was their only win of the season in the league.

Soon after beating Newcastle, two more draws would come, but then came seven defeats in a row and the club would eventually go on an extraordinary 32 games without a win and break all sorts of negative records such as least goals scored and most conceded as well as the longest winless streak.

Currently, Norwich have technically started much worse than that Derby team, having not picked up a point in their first five games and they don't quite look like beating Everton at Goodison Park in their next game, meaning they are currently on course to be even worse than that Derby side.

Points will come eventually, but right now, besides Pukki, they just don't look like they are a Premier League standard team, and the odds for Norwich to beat Derby's record are currently at 66/1.
