With the final international break of the campaign done, Norwich avoided any major injury worries and will restart on a run of six successive victories.
You may also want to watch:
The last of those was a dogged 2-1 win at Rotherham United thanks to goals from Kenny McLean and Ben Godfrey.
That ensured City hold a five-point lead from third-placed Leeds and a four-point gap to Sheffield United in second – both of whom kick off before the Canaries this weekend, with home games they will expect to win.
