Player to watch - Dominic Blizzard: The former Watford midfielder signed for the Hatters after a successful loan spell in 2007. The 25-year-old has bags of experience after playing for the Hornets in the top two divisions and is a key figure in the County midfield. Blizzard has bags of energy and gets from box-to-box.

Pub: Try The Armoury (31 Shaw Heath, Stockport, SK3 8BD ) for a friendly atmosphere with a beer garden and a mix of home and away fans. Being a Robinson's pub it serves locally-brewed beer. Only a short walk from the ground: gets busy on Saturdays. There's also the Royal Oak and the Sir Robert Peel, both on Castle Street.�
Last league meeting: Norwich City 2, Stockport County 0 (21 April, 2002): Phil Mulryne's 45th minute deflected volley and Malky Mackay's header from Clint Easton's inch-perfect corner underneath the County bar ensured the Canaries would face Wolves in the playoffs.
City connection: Keith Briggs began his career at Edgley Park before moving to Norwich in January 2003 - returned to County in January 2005.
