Predicted Norwich City Line-up To Face Queens Park Rangers In The EFL Championship
Norwich City have had a pretty disappointing campaign in the Championship this season, languishing at 14th place in the table. As they finished 8th last year and were pushing for playoffs for most of the season, this year will feel like quite a letdown.
They have also only won one of their last nine games and would love to go on a little winning streak at the end of the season to boost their hopes for next year’s campaign.
Probable Norwich City XI
Manager: Daniel Farke
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Angus Gunn (GK)
Didn’t have the best of games against Fulham but the young goalkeeper has been fairly consistent between the sticks and every game aids his development.
Jamal Lewis (LB)
The young Northern-Irish left-back is being given a run in the side and has impressed down the left-hand side in the last couple of games. He’s defensively solid and also adds an attacking threat.
Timm Klose (CB)
The towering Swiss centre-back had a decent game against Fulham despite the loss. He will be glad to have Grant Hanley back.
Grant Hanley (CB)
Hanley sat out of the previous game with a migraine problem and then sat out of the Scotland game with shin splints. However, he is without injury problems for this game. Has been a consistently high performer for Norwich this season.
Ivo Pinto (RB)
The Portuguese right-back offers some threat going forward. He has played over half of Norwich’s games this season.
Alexander Tettey (CM)
A monstrous central defensive midfielder who dominates the midfield. Had a good game against Fulham.
Wes Hoolahan (CM)
The Irish midfielder offers something different to the Norwich midfield – trickery and vision, which could be essential in breaking down the QPR defence.
James Maddison (RW)
One of the success stories of the Championship this season. He offers this Norwich team a threat when going forward and is the top scorer this season.
Marcus Edwards (CAM)
The on-loan Tottenham midfielder came to this Norwich team in January and looks like an exciting prospect in the attacking midfielder role.
Josh Murphy (LW)
The pacey winger has scored 9 goals this season for Norwich and will be hoping to add more to his tally.
Nelson Oliveira (ST)
The top-scoring striker for Norwich this season offers a threat with both his heading and his finishing, which makes him a handful for the opposition.
