Team News

Norwich will welcome back goalkeeper Mark Bunn following his one-match ban for the visit of Swansea City. Alexander Tettey has overcome a knee injury, but Anthony Pilkington (hamstring) still lacks match fitness and won't be risked. John Ruddy is scheduled to play a development match on Monday following thigh surgery. Swansea have Chico Flores and Angel Rangel available - Flores has been passed fit despite aggravating an ankle problem in last week's defeat to Tottenham, while Rangel has recovered from a calf injury.

Match Preview

Things were looking bright for Norwich back in the cold, bleak month of December following a 4-3 win over Swansea at the Liberty Stadium, a win which extended the Canaries' unbeaten streak to nine matches. There were even quiet murmurs of a top 10 finish but a lot has changed in the last four months. Chris Hughton's side have now found themselves in a relegation scrap and a win-less run of four games has seen the gap between them and those in the bottom three eroded to just four points. On the bright side, the visitors will arrive at Carrow Road in a poor run of form themselves. They have three successive defeats behind them now following last week's defeat to Tottenham and have been abysmal on the road, collecting a mediocre two points from five away games and finding the back of the net only once. Norwich will be hoping that poor run of form continues as they look to seek safe passage to another season in the top flight.
