Norwich head to Southampton on Wednesday night in an FA Cup 3rd Round Replay. The Canaries will be looking to halt their bad run of form with a win against the Saints.
The two sides met at Carrow Road earlier this month, where an injury-time header from Steven Naismith was able to secure a replay for the Canaries. The winner of this tie has the reward of a televised home game against Arsenal.
Norwich will be expected to shake up their starting lineup, as most clubs do for the FA Cup, but with a number of injuries and suspensions the depth of the City squad has become limited. We may see some new faces as Alex Neil looks to fill the gaps in his side.
Do you agree with our lineup? Who do you want to see start for Norwich on Wednesday night? Comment below or tweet us your thoughts to @ReadNorwich.
GK - Michael McGovern
McGovern was selected for the reverse fixture and played competently. Alex Neil is likely to rest John Ruddy again here.
RB - Russell Martin
Martin will likely be pushed out to right-back, his natural position, with Steven Whittaker doing anything but impressing against Rotherham.
CB - Ryan Bennett
Bennett will keep his place in the starting lineup, with centre-backs limited for Norwich.
CB - Sebastien Bassong
Bassong replaces Klose, who the defence has been relying on for weeks. Furthermore, a rest may be required after his Achilles injury in the reverse fixture earlier this month.
LB - Robbie Brady
Brady returns from his suspension, and with Martin Olsson unlikely to still be a Norwich player when this match kicks off, it leaves Brady as our only real left-back.
CM - Alex Tettey
Alex Tettey is the only available senior central midfielder remaining, so it is unlikely that Alex Neil will be able to drop him.
CM - Ray Grant
Ray Grant may make his debut against Southampton. He was excluded from the U23 squad against Fulham on Monday, possibly a sign that he will be included in this match.
RM - Jacob Murphy
Sergi Canos seemingly cannot get a look in and is in the midst of transfer discussions with Brentford, so it looks like Murphy will remain at right-mid.
CAM - James Maddison
Maddison impressed while on loan at Aberdeen for the first half of the season and was also left out of the U23 squad. Fans will be hoping to see him make his second senior start.
LM - Steven Naimsith
Naismith scored the goal that allowed this replay, and was impressive in the reverse fixture. Nobody really knows where he plays, but Alex Neil may choose that he is a left-midfielder for this match.
ST - Carlton Morris
Morris was another exclusion from the U23 squad, and with Jerome Norwich’s main striker whilst Oliveira is suspended, he will be rested. Alex Neil seems to hate Kyle Lafferty, so Morris may get the chance to start.
