Norwich face Wigan on Tuesday night at Carrow Road as they look to follow on from their victory over Cardiff City on Saturday.
The Canaries took three points as they came out 3-2 victors against the team from Wales and climbed to 5th in the table. However, as Alex Neil has shown on multiple occasions this season, just because his team won, doesn’t mean it will stay the same. Many unexpected changes have happened already and will certainly continue to happen throughout the season. We know that Alex Neil was scouting Wigan last month when they played Nottingham Forest, has he picked up some important information that could lead to tactical changes in the Norwich side?
Here is the starting XI that I think Alex Neil will go with on Tuesday night against the Latics.
Do you agree? Who do you want to see in yellow and green? Tweet us your thoughts to @ReadNorwich
GK - Michael McGovern
McGovern impressed against Cardiff with some good saves. John Ruddy won’t be able to force his way back in yet.
RB - Ivo Pinto
Pinto has turned out to be a magnificent Championship right-back. It seems that Norwich fans have been rewarded for years of watching Russell Martin and Steven Whittaker play out wide. No other right-back in the squad is even close to Pinto.
CB - Timm Klose
How? How did we keep him? Klose is fantastic, the best centre-back in the league. You would have to be out of your mind not to play him.
CB - Ryan Bennett
Ryan Bennett should definitely be our starting centre-back. Martin may have scored (or did he?) but Benno deserves a recall.
LB - Martin Olsson
Olsson has been declared fit by Alex Neil, so we can FINALLY stop watching Robbie Brady blunder his way through 90 minutes at left-back.
RM - Jacob Murphy
This is the twins’ season. Jacob Murphy has continually impressed and Sergi Canos cannot push him out the team.
CM - Jonny Howson
Super Jon should be put back in his natural central position now that Brady can move up the pitch.
CM - Graham Dorrans
Dorrans is a player I have criticised before, but he showed on Saturday that at this level he can do the business. He will start again.
LM - Robbie Brady
Finally, Brady can return to his naturally left-wing position. He is a fantastic player in this role, and hopefully can cause problems for the Wigan defense.
CAM - Alex Pritchard
We all know that Wes needs a rest now and then, and Pritchard showed in his Saturday cameo that he can play very well in this role.
ST - Cameron Jerome
Jerome scored his third of the season on Saturday in a way only he could, fluffing an easy chance and then scoring the impossible follow-up. With Oliveira still not fit, Jerome should keep his place.
