Norwich face Everton in the third round of the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening.
The Canaries progressed to the third round after a 6-1 thumping of Coventry City of League One. A youthful City side excelled against the Sky Blues, with a brace from Sergi Canos and goals from Kyle Laffery, Josh Murphy, Russell Martin and Ben Godfrey sending the Canaries through. They face a much higher class of opposition now, however, with a journey to Goodison Park and a match against a top-half Premier League side.
Alex Neil is known for changing his team for cup matches, giving fringe players a chance or simply resting his key players. We could be in store for a very different lineup to those that we are used to.

GK - John Ruddy
Alex Neil likes to rest, at the very least, his goalkeeper for cup ties. John Ruddy will be able to make his return from injury.
RB - Russell Martin
With Pinto suffering from injury problems, Neil may decide not to risk him unnecessarily and instead save him for Burton.
CB - Timm Klose
Timm has been the rock at the heart of our defence, and resting him would be defensive suicide against the far superior Everton
CB - Ryan Bennett
With Martin pushed out wide, Bennett can return to the starting lineup, He has impressed in his two substitute appearances whilst he has been out of the side.
LB - Martin Olsson
Olsson is the only recognised left-back in the squad. Brady can play here in times of desperate need, but it is painful to watch. Neil should choose to continue with Olsson on the flank.
RM - Jacob Murphy
Words cannot describe how immense Jacob Murphy has been. A run out against a Premier League team would be fantastic for his development.
CM - Jonny Howson
Jonny scored his second goal in a matter of days (sort of) at the weekend, getting the Norwich equaliser. He has impressed in returning to his natural, central position and Neil may play him here again.
CM - Graham Dorrans
Dorrans is beginning to regain his confidence, and with his thunderous winner against Forest, continuing his spell in the starting lineup will be good for him.
LM - Josh Murphy
Murphy has impressed in cup games before, and a game here would increase his chances of challenging Brady for the left midfielder position.
CAM - Alex Pritchard
Wes put a shift in against Forest, and must be knackered. Why unnecessarily risk him when the very capable Alex Pritchard is available?
ST - Nelson Oliveira
Alex Neil has already said that Oliveira will be fit for the Everton match, and many expect this to be his long awaited debut.
