Watford, Norwich Compete in EFL Carabao Cup Match

Watford and Norwich City face off in the Carabao Cup at Vicarage Road as both teams look to build momentum after disappointing starts to their Championship campaigns. Watford, under new coach Paulo Pezzolano, aim for their first competitive win of the season and are expected to field a mix of squad players, including goalkeeper Baxter and loanee Alleyne, while managing injuries to key players like James Abankwah. Norwich, coached by Liam Manning, also suffered an opening day loss but seek to improve on last season’s early cup exit, leveraging a blend of key and fringe players. The match is being broadcast live on CBS Sports Golazo and streamed via Paramount+, with live updates available on platforms such as VAVEL and BBC Sport. Both teams have a history of notable performances in the EFL Cup, with Norwich having won the competition twice and Watford reaching the semifinals once. This fixture is seen as an opportunity for both sides to assess their squads and gain confidence early in the season.
