Norwich name the same starting XI that lost at Leeds last time out but there are changes on the bench with Jamal Lewis back in the mix and Yanic Wildschut also among the seven subs.

Brentford make five changes, with Nico Yennaris, Chris Mepham, Mokotjo, Florian Jozefzoon and Lasse Vibe [pictured above] all restored. There are some real keyboard-testers on their bench. Ilias Chatzitheodoridis being one of them...

Norwich: Gunn, Pinto, Hanley, Klose, Stiepermann, Reed, Vrancic, Watkins, Maddison, Pritchard, Oliveira

Subs: McGovern, Zimmermann, Murphy, Wildschut, Trybull, Lewis, Tettey

Brentford: Bentley, Barbet, Bjelland, Mepham, Mokotjo, Yennaris, Watkins, Jozefzoon, Woods, Sawyers, Vibe

Subs: Daniels, MacLeod, Maupay, McEachran, Chatzitheodoridis, Sorensen, Canos
