It’s our opinion that The Canaries should employ a 4-2-3-1 formation this time, beginning the first half with Angus Gunn, Jack Stacey, Shane Duffy, Ruairi McConville, Callum Doyle, Kenny McLean, Jacob Wright, Anis Ben Slimane, Marcelino Núñez, Borja Sainz and Josh Sargent.

📋 Team News: Cardiff City

We are inclined to think that The Bluebirds seem most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 lineup using Ethan Horvath, Perry Ng, Will Fish, Calum Chambers, Callum O'Dowda, David Turnbull, Andy Rinomhota, Chris Willock, Alexander Robertson, Cian Ashford and Yousef Salech.
