Team News

Norwich
Hull
  • David Wagner could hand debuts to as many as four new signings with Jack Stacey, Shane Duffy, Ashley Barnes and Christian Fassnacht all pushing for starts.
  • Summer signing Borja Sainz will miss the first couple of months of the new campaign, while centre-back duo Grant Hanley and Jonathan Tomkinson are also unavailable.
  • Andrew Omobamidele looks headed for the exit door and will likely miss out on the opening day.
  • Oscar Estupinan, Lewie Coyle and new signing Aaron Connolly will all be involved for Hull this weekend after shaking off minor injuries.
  • Allahyar Sayyadmanesh is nursing a calf injury, while Dogukan Sinik and Greg Docherty are both unavailable for the visitors.
  • Central midfielder Ryan Woods is fit but won't play again for the Tigers as he targets a move away from the club.

Prediction

  • Many expected David Wagner's time as Norwich City boss to come to a premature end over the summer following an uninspiring end to the campaign. The Canaries picked up just a single victory from their final 11 league outings last term, but there are signs that the much-needed rebuild is underway at Carrow Road.
  • Hull have been backed in the transfer market once again this summer, adding a wealth of attacking options to the squad including Liam Delap and former loanee Aaron Connolly. Liam Rosenior made a positive impact after arriving at the MKM Stadium last season but the Tigers had little to play for as their season fizzles out.
