Pre-match preview

Norwich City

Jack Stacey started three of Norwich's last five matches at right-back but was introduced from the bench in the defeat at Middlesbrough, and Kellen Fisher is expected to start there again this weekend. Ben Chrisene is expected to continue at left-back after starting four of the last five games in that role.

Mohamed Touré has scored four goals in four starts up front, and Andre Brooks has added two goals and an assist from the right. Ali Ahmed and Lucien Mahovo remain out through injury, while Mirko Topić is doubtful because of a knee injury.

Bolton Wanderers

Josh Sheehan is available against Norwich after having a recent red card overturned on appeal. He has started all five matches so far and is set to continue in central midfield.

Chris Forino, already missing out at Cardiff, is out again because Sunday comes too soon in his recovery from a groin injury. Lewis Brunt is sidelined too, so Gaizka Larrazabal is expected to continue at right-back. Gavin Bazunu has started twice in the last five matches and is set to keep the gloves ahead of Jack Bonham.
