This weekend we travel for another away game to start a 3 game week. A journey to south Wales beckons for Norwich City this weekend as Johannes Hoff Thorup takes his side to face Cardiff City on Saturday (KO 3pm). The Canaries have drawn four of their last five fixtures, including two-goal comebacks against Preston North End and Middlesbrough. Wins against Watford, Derby County and Hull City make it seven unbeaten for Norwich in the Championship.
Squad update
**UPDATE**
Sargent - OUT - Until the international break at least with groin issue
Slimane - OUT - This week at least with hamstring issue
Fassnacht - IN- Back training on grass with the rest of the team
Springett - IN - Back on grass training sooner than expected.
McLean - OUT - 1/3 game suspension
Gunn - OUT - Targetting return after International break
Nunez - OUT - Potential return just before the International break but JHT wants to limit risk.
Barnes - OUT - May be back on the grass in the next week or 2

The Opposition
The Bluebirds had to wait until their eighth attempt to pick up a win in the league this season, losing six of their opening seven. Since then, however, they are five unbeaten and have climbed out of the relegation zone.
Their most recent outing was a 0-0 draw against West Bromwich Albion at The Hawthorns.
The Manager
Omer Riza
After the difficult start to the campaign, Erol Bulut was dismissed on September 22 with Omer Riza taking interim charge. Riza, London-born or Turkish-Cypriot descent, was in the Arsenal academy in the 1990s and would go on to have a career in both England and Turkey. After spells as head coach at Cheshunt and Leyton Orient, Riza has worked in the youth development systems of Watford and the FA before joining Cardiff.
Positive vibes!!!
ON THE BALL CITY!!!
