Team News

Norwich
Blackburn
  • Johannes Thorup may hand a league debut to marquee signing Amankwah Forson, while academy graduate Abu Kamara could start after netting his first goal for the club on Tuesday night in the Carabao Cup.
  • Ashley Barnes has been ruled out of the clash with Blackburn this weekend, but summer signing Jose Cordoba could feature as he continues to build his fitness.
  • Sammie Szmodics played a starring role against Stockport in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night and could make his first league start of the season against Norwich on Saturday.
  • Centre-back Scott Wharton is John Eustace's only injury concern ahead of the trip to Carrow Road.

Prediction

  • Norwich got off to an alarmingly disorganised start under new manager Johannes Thorup last weekend, losing 2-0 away from home against a newly-promoted Oxford United side.
  • The Canaries beat Stevenage 4-3 in the Carabao Cup in midweek, but the nature of that victory will do little to ease fears at Carrow Road.
  • Blackburn's season has started in a way that even the most optimistic of fans couldn't have expected.
  • Rovers cruised to a dominant 4-2 home win against newly-promoted Derby last Friday, before hammering League One new boys Stockport County 6-1 in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday night. The visitors have plenty of momentum heading into this game.

  • Norwich need a turn around on their poor start at Oxford. Being at home to Blackburn, whose footballers are being linked with away moves, should provide an entertaining 1-1 draw
