    NORWICH City manager Paul Lambert has announced an unchanged lineup for this afternoons Playoff Final match versus Reading.

    Henri Lansbury was initially a doubt after picking up a knock in The Canaries' dramatic late victory at Carrow Road versus Nottingham Forest; however both he and Dani Pacheco are set to start in what will be the Canaries first visit to Wembley since their famous 1985 Milk Cup victory.

    Shoppers have been advised to keep away from Norwich City centre, with an anticipated 10,000 Canaries turning out to watch the game on the big screen bought in for the occasion.

    It has been a roller coaster season for Norwich, who under manager Paul Lambert have gone from bottom of League One to third in the Championship, narrowly missing out on automatic promotion on goal difference behind Swansea and Queens Park Rangers.

    40,000 fans have already descended on Wembley stadium, with coaches having left Carrow road at 8am and rail travel expected to cope with the overflow.

    Kick off is at 3pm and the match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports HD1, BBC Radio 5Live and BBC local radio.

    Yes, so glad it's not us - especially as Cardiff gave Dave Jones the bullet esrlier today. Just think, that could have been Lambert if we'd had to sneak in through the play offs...and failed :wink:
