Predicted Norwich City line-up to face Swansea City in the Championship
Norwich City will welcome Swansea City at the Carrow Road on Friday as Daniel Farke hopes to retain the top spot in the table.
After a disappointing 3-1 loss to Preston, the Canaries have won three on a bounce, scoring 10 goals. They are on a roll at the moment and will enter the contest as favourites.
Swansea City, meanwhile, will come into this game on the back of a 2-0 success over Bolton Wanderers.
Team News
Apart from Louis Thompson, Farke has a clean bill of health ahead of Friday’s clash with Swansea.
Probable Norwich City XI
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Manager: Daniel Farke
Tim Krul (GK)
The Dutchman has played every game so far this season and should continue between the sticks on Friday.
Max Aarons (RB)
The exciting 19-year-old has impressed many with his performances. He should continue in his role at right-back.
Christoph Zimmermann (CB)
The German has been impressive in the heart of the Norwich defence this season and is expected to start against Swansea.
Ben Godfrey (CB)
Godfrey has slotted seamlessly into central defence alongside Zimmermann. He should retain his place in the starting XI.
Jamal Lewis (LB)
Lewis continues to impress with his offensive displays from left-back position. He is expected to start on Friday.
Tom Trybull (CM)
Even though Leitner and Vrancic have returned to the team, Farke is expected to continue with Trybull, who has been fantastic this campaign.
Kenny McLean (CM)
McLean hasn’t put a foot wrong in Norwich City colours this term. He deserves to keep his place in the team.
Emiliano Buendia (RW)
Buendia has made the right-wing slot his own with consistent displays. A tricky customer, he will look to guide the Canaries to all three points against the Swans.
Marco Stiepermann (CAM)
Stiepermann is mainly responsible for linking the play between the midfield and the attack. He works really hard off the ball and provides the quality in possession required in a no.10. A certain starter against the Welsh side.
Onel Hernandez (LW)
With his pace, power, vision and dribbling skills, Hernandez has proven to be a nightmare for the Championship defenders this season. He will be a massive threat for the Swansea defenders as well.
Teemu Pukki (ST)
Pukki has been a class act for Farke’s side, banging goals left, right and centre all this season. He is an undoubted starter for the home game on Friday.
