Norwich Team News

Norwich returns to home turf on Monday after two consecutive defeats, ready to face Southampton. Despite a challenging festive period, David Wagner’s team is only five points behind sixth-placed Hull City and can embark on a winning streak due to the quality of their squad.

Norwich has won seven out of 12 home matches, but they face Southampton, which boasts the third-best away performance in the second tier.

Despite finishing 13th in the Championship last season, Norwich aims to contend for a playoff spot this season. Their previous encounter with Southampton ended in a 4-4 draw, but Norwich has only secured one victory in the last seven meetings.

The absence of Dimitris Giannoulis and Jacob Lungi Sorensen due to injuries poses a challenge, but Wagner is expected to retain most of the lineup from the Millwall match. The only anticipated change is the introduction of Jonathan Rowe into the starting eleven, a player who has scored 10 goals this season.

Southampton Team News

Southampton enters this match after a 2-1 victory over Plymouth, with goals from Carlos Alcaraz and Che Adams. With four consecutive wins, the Saints have scored 11 goals without conceding, placing them in the third position in the Championship.

Russell Martin’s team has secured 15 wins, six draws, and four losses, accumulating 51 points from 25 matches. They are now only three points behind second-placed Ipswich.

Despite relegation from the Premier League last season, Southampton is among the favorites for promotion from the Championship. The visitors aim for their fifth consecutive league win before a home game against Walsall in the FA Cup. These two teams last met at Carrow Road during the 2021-22 season, with Norwich winning 2-1.

For Southampton, James Bree, Ross Stewart, Kamaldeen Sulemana, and Juan Larios are unavailable, but there are no new issues after the Plymouth match. Che Adams will lead the attack again, Adam Armstrong is expected to play in an advanced role, and Samuel Edozie retains his place in the starting lineup. Joe Aribo and Sekou Mara are likely to be on the bench.
