Sports Mole previews Saturday's Championship clash between Norwich City and Luton Town, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Sports Mole

Norwich City play host to Luton Town on Saturday afternoon looking for the win that will keep the Canaries in the top 10 of the Championship table.

Meanwhile, Luton make the trip to Carrow Road occupying 16th place in the standings after generally getting back on track either side of the international break.


Match preview

Although Norwich sit in 10th place in the second-tier table, it is fair to say that Johannes Hoff Thorup is yet to overly impress in East Anglia.

Four of Norwich's five wins came across a six-game streak, the Canaries following that period with a run of seven matches without success.

Their long-standing unbeaten home record came to an end earlier this month when they went down 2-0 to Bristol City, increasing the stakes ahead of facing Plymouth Argyle on Tuesday.

However, on the back of a hard-earned 2-2 draw at West Bromwich Albion, Norwich thrashed the Pilgrims by a 6-1 scoreline.

Borja Sainz scored a hat-trick during that fixture, taking him to 14 strikes for the campaign, while Norwich also now possess the joint-best attack in the division.

Meanwhile, Rob Edwards continues to fight to keep his job at Luton with the Hatters still only sitting three points clear of the relegation zone.

A seven-point haul has come from their last five outings, Luton recording much-needed victories over Cardiff City and Hull City at Kenilworth Road.

On the flip side, eight goals have been conceded across away fixtures at Middlesbrough and Leeds United, highlighting the weakness in the squad.

Now holding the second-worst defensive record in the league, Luton will be wary of facing this Norwich attack, particularly on their travels.

Team News

Barring any fresh injury issues, Thorup may be prepared to select the same Norwich starting lineup.

Despite scoring as a substitute against Plymouth, Anis Ben Slimane is likely to remain among the replacements.

Kellen Fisher is back after suspension, but the likes of Marcelino Nunez and Josh Sargent remain absent through injury.

Edwards will likely ring the changes to his Luton side with Daiko Hashioka, Tahith Chong and Elijah Adebayo all in contention.

Alfie Doughty will continue to be assessed in his recovery from an ankle injury sustained before the international break.


Norwich City possible starting lineup:
Gunn; Stacey, Dufy, Doyle, Chrisene; Sorensen, McLean, Marcondes; Forson, Crnac, Sainz

Luton Town possible starting lineup:
Kaminski; Mengi, McGuinness, Bell; Hashioka, Krauss, Nakamba, Clark, Moses; Brown, Adebayo


We say: Norwich City 3-1 Luton Town

Having conceded eight goals in their last two away games, we do not envisage this fixture going Luton's way. Although Norwich have lost ground on the playoff spots, their performance versus Plymouth should stand them in good stead ahead of this contest.
