    Referee: Stuart Attwell. Assistants: Constantine Hatzidakis, Neil Davies. Fourth official: John Brooks. Replacement official: Anthony Da Costa. VAR: David Coote. Assistant VAR: Sian Massey-Ellis.

    Head-to-head

    We’ve had a relatively even record with the Seagulls since our first meeting in 1921. In total, there have been 34 Norwich wins, 31 Brighton wins, and 24 draws.
    Our previous win against them came at Carrow Road during the 2016-17 Championship season, in which two own goals by Brighton ‘keeper David Stockdale kept us fighting for the playoffs.
    The reverse scoreline took place when we met earlier this season, as goals from Leandro Trossard and Shane Duffy inflicted our defeat on a dismal night on the south coast

    Klose's ban is only 1 game I think? At least I think that's the ban for a professional foul. So we might have 2 CBs available

    In that case, Godfrey & Klose, with Tettey and McLean in front of them.

    Leitner out for the season, requiring hernia surgery. No fresh injury concerns.

    I agree - Bendy and Pukki look shot atm and Idah should be given a start. Either Stiepermann or Vrancic need to start too.

    Norwich XI: Krul, Aarons, Godfrey, Klose, Lewis, Tettey, McLean, Buendia, Duda, Hernandez, Drmic.

    Substitutes: Rupp, Vrancic, Cantwell, Stiepermann, Trybull, Pukki, McGovern, Idah, Martin.

    No Cantwell,Vrancic or Idah???

    Cantwell I suspect is a fitness thing.

    What has Duda really done to get a start, why not try Vrancic as a number 10.

    I thought the very flat midfield of Rupp, Tettey, McLean worked pretty well against United, even if it wasn't so good against Arsenal. So I'm somewhat surprised to see a 4-2-3-1 return with a CAM. Would have rather stuck with the formula and tweaked it so add some creativity, something like Tettey, McLean, Vrancic.

    Has Vrancic become the new David Fox? The longer he's out of the side, the more problems he's thought to solve?

    The message, surely, is that Brighton aren't United; the ball is ours to play with today. Well, we'll see.

    The problem is no-one in our team delivers a dead ball like Buendia, even on a bad day, so if you have Drmic up top I think Buendia is critical

    If both Lewis & Aarons could improve their crossing it would really help.

    Another unforced error by Klose and we're behind again. Forget defending our players need a crash course in decision making.
