- Mark Bunn will play in goal again after John Ruddy confirmed via his Twitter account that he will be out for around three months. The thigh injury he suffered against Everton requires surgery and the loss is a big blow for the Canaries.
- Turner and Kane remain Norwich's only other absentees due to injury.
- Ryan Bennett should continue at centre-back in Turner's absence though Leon Barnett is another option.
- After making the starting XI in midweek despite a knock, Lee Cattermole took a blow to his other knee and was forced off after only 6 minutes. He is extremely unlikely to play given that he is now nursing two injuries.
- Matthew Kilgallon will deputise at the back if John O'Shea's calf injury continues to keep him sidelined.
- James McClean has only made the bench in recent weeks, so Craig Gardner could play centrally again, with either Larsson or Sessegnon wide right. MON will also consider recalling Meyler to the midfield.
Bassong again!! Isn't it amazing that Spurs left him go but kept Gallas?!?!? Gallas has been a calamity all season, meanwhile Basson has been one of the if not the best CB in the league so far this season! Managers really get drunk b4 making decisions.
