Valerien Ismael's side haven't really got going so far.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Last chance gone for Brentford as Mads Roerslev picks out Henrik Dalsgaard in the Norwich box, but the centre-back can't time his jump or direct his header on target.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Half a sight of goal there for Ivan Toney, but it's taken until almost the end of the match for him to pop up with a chance.
Can't get the ball out of his feet in time after a good knock down on the edge of the Norwich area and his poked effort squirms harmlessly wide.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
FOUR MINUTES BEING ADDED ON!
Have Brentford got a spark somewhere up their sleeve?
Andre Gray (14 mins)
It's a low cross from Kiko Femenia and Andre Gray is poised to fire home from six yards out.
Gray had had just one goal in 33 prior to tonight's opener.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Into the closing stages and to be honest, it's felt like a done deal for some time.
Brentford have just failed to show us exactly what they're all about, while Norwich have been efficient and ruthless.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Teemu Pukki comes off for the closing stages to be replaced by Jordan Hugill.
No goals for Pukki tonight but another significant contribution.
Watford 0-0 Wycombe
Watford have had most of the possession so far as we approach the 13th minute.
The visitors have had a couple of dangerous early corners from Joe Jacobson, but neither keeper has been tested so far.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Bryan Mbeumo and Mads Roerslev try and find a way through Norwich's defence down the left for Brentford.
But again the ball squirms harmlessly away and Tim Krul remains untroubled.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Teemu Pukki goes down in stages with a very feable attempt to appeal for a penalty as the ball just runs away from him inside the Brentford area.
Nothing too serious in terms of an appeal from the Finn to be honest.
Onel Hernandez is replaced meanwhile by Jacob Sorensen.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Tarique Fosu and Mads Roerslev trying to make an impact for Brentford on opposite flanks since coming on.
But their balls into the area are failing to find a team-mate and Norwich continue to keep them at arm's length.
QPR 0-0 Barnsley
An early chance for the hosts, after Charlie Austin's strike clips the crossbar.
It came from a Stefan Johansen ball to meet Austin who half-volleyed from 10 yards out, but the angle was just too tight.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Brentford need a spark here as we approach the last 10 minutes because Norwich are as comfortable as you can get at just 1-0 up.
Tim Krul has barely had a touch to keep his hands warm this half.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Frustrating times this for Brentford and they almost get caught out at the back again as Onel Hernandez slides in a low shot after Emi Buendia plays him into space.
David Raya again down to make the save.
Couple more changes for the Bees meanwhile as Saman Ghoddos and Winston Reid are replaced by Marcus Forss and Mads Roerslev.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Onel Hernandez becomes the second Norwich player to be booked as he makes a poorly-timed challenge on Henrik Dalsgaard down the right flank.
Lenghthy treatment for the Brentford skipper but he is back up and at it eventually.
And we're under way in this evening's 19:00 GMT kick-offs.
Can Barnsley edge closer to the play-off places?
Will Watford go level with second-placed Brentford?
We're across all the updates from the Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium and Vicarage Road.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Teemu Pukki skims a shot past the side-netting as Emi Beundia slides the ball into his path on the edge of the penalty area.
First change for the hosts meawhile sees Mario Vrancic make way for Lukas Rupp.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Double change for Brentford.
Tarique Fosu on for Sergi Canos and Vitaly Janelt makes way for Christian Norgaard.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Ben Gibson with a great chance to make it 2-0 to Norwich.
Picked out unmarked with the free-kick with a header and he just tries to be a bit too delicate with it rather than going for power.
Gives David Raya time to get down and gather on his line.
Norwich City 1-0 Brentford
Winston Reid concedes a free-kick as he trips Mario Vrancic.
Nervy moment for Reid and Brentford with the centre-back already on a booking from the first half.
