Predicted Norwich City line-up to face Swansea City in the Championship

Norwich City will resume their Championship duty with a trip to south Wales on Saturday to face Swansea City.

The Canaries have won nine of their previous 11 games and have a two-point lead at the top of the table. Before the international break, they won a 4-3 thriller against Millwall, courtesy of two stoppage-time goals.

With a gruelling period ahead and a hectic Christmas schedule around the corner, Norwich City will look to keep their momentum going.

Louis Thompson remains out with a dislocated shoulder but Kenny McLean has been running on the grass after an ankle surgery.

Carlton Morris and Matt Jarvis (both knee injuries) remain sidelined.

Tim Krul (GK)

Krul has been Farke’s first choice between the sticks and the Dutchman will continue guarding Norwich’s goal.

Moritz Leitner (CM)

Leitner has become a vital cog of Farke’s team this season. He is a certain starter at the weekend but the midfielder has to be extra cautious as he is just a booking away from suspension.

Alex Tettey

Alexander Tettey (CM)

Tettey is a tigerish midfielder who does the dirty work for Norwich and provides the license for the flair players to express themselves freely.

Emiliano Buendía (RW)

Having signed from Getafe earlier this summer, Buendia has made an instant impact in the Championship with his attacking displays.

Marco Stiepermann (CAM)

Stiepermann works very hard for the team and acts as the link between the midfield and the attack.

Onel Hernandez (LW)

With two goals and three assists so far this season, Hernandez has established himself as one of the first names on the team sheet.
