Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.

Struggling team Norwich City FC (3-8-4, 13 points) is scheduled to host middling squad Everton FC (5-3-7, 22 points) at the Carrow Road on Saturday, December 12th to open week 16 of the 2015-2016 Premier League season.

Norwich City surrendered a 0-2 decision to fellow newly-promoted club Watford at the Vicarage Road last Saturday, dropping their third straight winless game and five of their last six overall, as per Goal.

Alex Neil's men could not stop the Hornets' pair of strikers Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo from pouring in the goals at the 30th and 90th+1 minutes respectively to settle at the 16th spot in the current league table.

Meanwhile, Everton forced a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace on Monday at the Goodison Park as the Toffees just could not make more goals in the final minutes amidst a dominating second-half performance, via SkySports.

Eagles' defender Scott Dann netted the game's first goal at the 76th minute despite relentless pressure from the People's Club. Fortunately, Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku found the back of the net at the 81st to equalize the count for Roberto Martínez's side and share the point in the overall standings.

The prediction is a 2-0 win for Everton. Martínez's boys have not been defeated in their last five games and the Canaries are not strong enough to inflict them a loss as of the moment.

Norwich City starting lineup (4-5-1 formation): Rudd; Bassong, Bennett, Olsson, Wisdom; Brady, Tettey, Howson, Dorrans, Redmond; Grabban

Everton starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Howard; Stones, Galloway, Funes Mori, Coleman; Barkley, Deulofeu; Barry, Koné, Cleverley; Lukaku
