Manchester United will be aiming to end a five-match winless run when they host Norwich at Old Trafford on Saturday.

Draws against PSV Eindhoven, Leicester and West Ham have been followed by defeats to Wolfsburg and Bournemouth in a miserable run of form for United.

The results have seen them slip six points behind table-topping Leicester in the Premier League, while they have also been eliminated from Champions League at the group stage.

However, they might take some consolation from their impressive home form this season. They are the only side in the top flight yet to lose at home and have conceded just one goal in nine league matches at Old Trafford.

Norwich have lost 4-0 on each of their last three visits to Old Trafford and have won just one of their last 11 matches in all competitions.

They start the weekend 18th in the table after coming from behind to draw with Everton in their last outing.

Paul Merson's predictions

The Magic Man gives his predictions for all 10 Premier League matches this weekend

I'm going to go for United, but it won't be impressive. I'm Louis van Gaal's biggest critic, but he's had some bad injuries.

It might not be pretty, but it will be a big win for them. It's a catch 22 with Norwich, it's one of those games where you ask yourself, "do we have a go at United?" as they may never have a better chance.

If they sit back they could play into United's hands, but if they have a go it could catch them off-guard unexpectedly.

PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (5/1 with Sky Bet)

Manchester United v Norwich

Manchester United are 4/9 with Sky Bet to maintain their impressive recent record against 13/2 shots Norwich at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have won their last three Premier League meetings with the Canaries at home to nil, scoring 10 goals in the process and are 5/4 to extend that trend on Saturday.

However, United are struggling with only one win in their last four in the top flight and the draw at 100/30 will appeal to many punters. Anthony Martial is 6/4 favourite to net in a home win, while Dieumerci Mbokani is deemed the most likely of the Norwich side to score at 7/2.

Soccer Saturday pundits Charlie Nicholas and Phil Thompson are both backing United to edge it 1-0 at odds of 5/1 with Sky Bet.
