Norwich City v Leicester City- Preview

Last updated : 28 September 2010 By DSG

Norwich boss Paul Lambert again has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the visit of Leicester.

The former Colchester boss was full of praise for his side despite the 2-0 defeat at home to Hull on Saturday and is unlikely to make many changes.

Andrew Surman (knee) and Michael Nelson (ankle) remain the only two absentees as defensive duo Steven Smith and Zak Whitbread have returned to full training following ankle and calf injuries respectively.

Smith was in the matchday squad against the Tigers but has yet to make his debut, while Simon Lappin is expected to continue in midfield following his return to the starting line-up at the expense of Anthony McNamee.

Simeon Jackson is pressurising Chris Martin for a place up front alongside captain Grant Holt as the Canaries look for a return to winning ways.

Leicester manager Paulo Sousa has urged his players to put the 6-1 hammering by Portsmouth out of their minds by winning at Carrow Road.

The Foxes travel to Norfolk after being hit for six at Fratton Park in front of the television cameras on Friday night.

Sousa says the current glut of games means he is unable to work on their problems on the training ground. But the former Swansea boss, whose side are now bottom of the npower Championship table, believes there is enough quality in his squad to turn things around.

"We want to get this out of our system straightaway. Hopefully, we can start the game at Norwich much better and keep focused better on what we need to do to win the game," said Sousa.

"There were some individual mistakes on Friday. Those are, of course, something we want to avoid but we are not in the moment where we have too much time to correct things.

"We need to grow and be strong and we will make the right decisions to get the win. We want to move on."
