The last time Norwich City played in the Premier League was 6 years ago, back in 2004/05 season. The club got promoted as they won the First Division title in 2003/04 season, but only managed to finish 19th place in the Premier League which caused their relegation. Last season, Norwich secured the 2nd place in Championship, right after QPR and got their promotion.

You may want to look out for Grant Holt who is the captain of the team, the top scorer of the club, as well as Player of the year for two consecutive seasons. Norwich has signed two striker so far, James Vaughan from Everton, and Steve Morison from Millwall,  they have also brought in Elliott Bennett, Bradley Johnson and Ritchie De Laet who is on loan from Manchester United.

We are eager to see how the Canaries will do in the Premier League after 6 years, last time despite being relegated, they had beaten Manchester United. Their first Premier League game will be against Wigan, a team which always struggle near the relegation zone. Will Norwich find a place to stay in Premier League this time?
