Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News
Cardiff (4-2-3-1): Harry Tyrer; Ronan Kpakio, Perry Ng, Joel Bagan, Calum Scanlon; Alex Robertson, David Turnbull; Chris Willock, Joel Colwill, Isaak Davies; Callum Robinson
Defensive trio Callum Chambers, Will Fish and Dylan Lawlor are unlikely to feature due to injury.
Gabriel Osho missed the Derby game and is an injury doubt against Norwich. Brian Barry-Murphy provided an update on the defender’s condition and said, "Well, he hyperextended his knee late on, so he was in discomfort."
Norwich (4-2-3-1): Dan Grimshaw; Jack Stacey, Harry Darling, Ruairi McConville, Ben Chrisene; Pelle Mattsson, Kenny McLean; Anthony Musaba, Ben Slimane, Papa Amadou Diallo; Mohamed Toure
Midfielders Ali Ahmed and Liam Gibbs and forward Jovon Makama are sidelined with injuries.
Defender Lucien Mahovo is also out following an ankle issue.
Verdict
Cardiff will be eager to maintain momentum after some excellent recent form. The Bluebirds are a good home side and can win or draw against a struggling Norwich.
