Norwich City Team News
Christoph Zimmermann missed the Manchester City game due to illness. Przemyslaw Placheta was unavailable as he was recovering from Covid-19 symptoms. Sam Byram is recovering from a hamstring injury. Their manager Daniel Farke may give some fringe players a game
Norwich City Player To Watch
Last season in the Championship, Teemu Pukki scored 26 goals and had 4 assists to his name.
Billy Gilmour is another good player, on a season long loan from Chelsea, did well for Scotland in the recent Euro 2020 tournament.
AFCB Team News
Junior Stanislas had a recurrence of his injury and looks to miss this game. According to our manager it’s probably too early for Adam Smith and Jack Stacey, although not mentioned that probably is the case with Lewis and Steve Cook. Also match fitness wise our new signing Gary Cahill. Maybe we will see Orjan Nyland in goal instead of Mark Travers and Ben Pearson to also start. Otherwise more of the same with maybe one or two youngsters who have been on the bench for league games getting a start. One more game ban, then Jefferson Lerma is back and raring to go from reports.
AFCB Player To Watch
Dominic Solanke seems to have started in a very confident reign of form, if he starts he could be our best threat to their goal.
