Norwich City host Huddersfield Town in a midweek Championship fixture with both teams looking to find a spark this season.
Norwich appear to be finding life difficult in the Championship having failed to secure a win this season. They were beaten 2-1 by Hull City in their previous fixture and are currently rooted to the bottom of the table with one point from three matches.
Their only point this season came in a 1-1 draw with Wigan Athletic at Carrow Road and they will be looking to build on that result as home form is likely to be pivotal.
Despite their unimpressive start, Norwich City have scored in every game since a blank in the opening fixture. However, Dean Smith’s men have failed to keep a single clean sheet in their four matches across all competitions.
Huddersfield Town are coming off their first win of the season as they beat Stoke City 3-1 in their previous Championship fixture. Yuta Nakayama opened the scoring five minutes before the break while Danny Ward and Jordan Rhodes added more goals in the second half.
Manager Danny Schofield will be relieved that his team are finally off the mark for the season having endured a difficult start. They had lost their previous three matches across all competitions, including a 4-1 defeat to Preston North End in the Carabao Cup first round.
Huddersfield Town are yet to keep a single clean sheet this season but forward, Danny Ward continues to impress at the other end of the pitch having scored in two of his three Championship appearances.

Despite their struggles this season, Norwich City have been installed as overwhelming favourites among the bookies at 11/18 with SBK. A victory for Huddersfield Town is valued at 23/4 with Unibet while a draw is set at odds of 27/10 by BetVictor.
