    Pick of the stats: Norwich City v Oxford United

    Published on

    Philippe Clement will chase his first victory as Norwich City boss when they host Oxford United on Tuesday (19:45 GMT).

    Clement sealed his first game in charge of the Canaries with a 4-1 loss to Birmingham City on Saturday but will begin to earn the trust of the fans should he secure the side their first home point of the season.

    Fail to do so and they will claim the worst home start ever in the English Football League – as well as leave them eight points adrift of 21st placed Oxford United.

    • Norwich have won just one of their last five league games against Oxford (D1 L3), a 4-2 away win in the second tier in April 1999.

    • Oxford have won just one of their 11 away league games against Norwich (D4 L6), a 3-1 victory in November 1998.

    • Norwich have lost each of their last seven home league games, their longest ever losing streak in their league history. Since the 2004 rebrand, the only side to lose eight consecutive Championship home games are Burton Albion between September-December 2017.

    • Since their promotion in 2024, Oxford have won just four of their 31 Championship away games (D10 L17), with no ever present side winning fewer in that time.

    • Norwich have lost all seven of their home league games this season – no side in English Football League history has ever lost their first eight at the start of a campaign before.
