    Wycombe 0-0 Norwich

    Norwich keeper Tim Krul is almost playing as a third centre-back at times, giving the visitors an extra man as they look to move up the pitch.

    But Wycombe are getting their interceptions in so far and look like they're trying to spring that one lethal counter attack to upset the odds.

    Wycombe 0-0 Norwich

    Wycombe winger Garath McCleary gets up the right-hand side and gains some useful territory.

    Josh Knight flings in a long-throw which is cleared by the Norwich defence and Dominic Gape's high ball into the box goes over everyone's heads and out.

    Wycombe 0-0 Norwich

    You won't be surprised to hear that Norwich are having most of the possession while Wycombe put everyone behind the ball in a compact shape.

    It works for the hosts on this occasion as Ben Gibson overhits his pass out for a goal kick.

    Wycombe v Norwich (12:00 GMT)

    It looks a beautiful lunchtime in Buckinghamshire. A bit fresh, no doubt, but with glorious sunshine.

    We might be well used to it by now but it's still a crying shame that no supporters can go to games.

    The players are out onto the pitch and kick-off is not far away.

    Wycombe v Norwich (12:00 GMT)

    These side have met five times previously and Norwich have won on each occasion, with the Canaries' last trip to Adams Park ending in a 4-3 EFL Cup triumph. Not bad.

    We can certainly expect a clash of styles, with Wycombe's 4,335 passes the fewest completed in the Championship this season, compared to Norwich's league-high 14,349.

    The main man for Daniel Farke's side is Finland striker Teemu Pukki. Since the start of the 2018-19 season, he's scored 46 Championship goals, six more than any other player, despite Pukki spending the 2019-20 season in the Premier League.

    Gareth Ainsworth makes one change to his Wycombe side that beat Reading on Tuesday, with Dominic Gape in for the suspended Ryan Tafazolli.

    It means Josh Knight drops in to centre-back, while in goal David Stockdale continues in place of the injured Ryan Allsop.

    For Norwich, Cuba winger Onel Hernandez starts in the Championship for the first time since October and centre-back Ben Gibson returns from a back problem which had kept him out of the past two matches.

    Wycombe: Stockdale, Grimmer, Stewart, Knight, Obita, Gape, Mehmeti, McCleary, Wheeler, Onyedinma, Ikpeazu

    Norwich: Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Giannoulis, Skipp, McLean, Vrancic, Buendia, Hernandez, Pukki

    It's the team five points adrift at the bottom of the Championship against the side four points clear at the top with four victories on the bounce.

    Yo-yo side Norwich are desperate to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking while Wycombe are in their first-ever Championship season and want to make a decent fist of staying up.

    It's David v Goliath. A potential banana skin. That'll do for cliches. Welcome.
