MATCHDAY LIVE: Lowestoft Town v Norwich City – Canaries back from Ireland for first local friendly

Norwich City are back in England and ready to show some of their hand a little closer to home following their pre-season camp in Ireland, with a friendly at Lowestoft Town this afternoon (3pm).

Our Canaries correspondents Michael Bailey and David Freezer are at Crown Meadow to bing you all the action, speculation and talking points.

The game, which is doubling up as a testimonial for Trawler Boys legend and City fan Micky Chapman, was originally scheduled for last summer – but had to be called off at the last minute due to a waterlogged pitch.

The Canaries were 5-0 winners in their opening friendly at Cobh Ramblers on Wednesday evening, as part of their week-long training camp at Fota Island. The game was the first under new head coach Daniel Farke.

City continue their pre-season fixtures with trips to League Two sides Stevenage and Cambridge United next week.
