Championship leaders Coventry travel to Carrow Road to take on Norwich at 20:00 on Monday.
Frank Lampard’s side head into the tie three points clear at the top of the table and have won each of their last two after going winless in the four preceding matches across all competitions.
They claimed a 2-1 victory over Millwall last time out, following on from a 2-1 win over Leicester.
Star defender Bobby Thomas is eligible to make his return for the trip to Norfolk after serving a three-match ban, however his involvement remains doubtful due to a lingering calf issue.
West Ham are targeting Thomas off the back of his impressive start to the 2025-26 season.
Full-back Kaine Kesler-Hayden is also a doubt as he closes in on a return from an ankle issue.
The Canaries, meanwhile, are out of the relegation zone after winning four of their last six.
Philippe Clement had been among the favoured candidates in the Championship sack race odds prior to this run, but he is now firmly among the outsiders in the market at a price of 66/1.
A thumping 5-0 win away at West Brom last time out, following on from an impressive 2-1 win over Wrexham in north Wales, saw Norwich climb up to 20th place in the second tier table.
They will be without several key players for the Sky Blues’ visit on Monday, with Lucien Mahovo, Ante Crnac, Amankwah Forson, Gabriel Forsyth, Jeffrey Schlupp and Mirko Topic out injured.
Josh Sargent’s ‘heated meeting’ with Norwich last week puts him out of the equation too, as the United States international continues to push for a move to the MLS with Toronto FC.
The reverse fixture between Coventry and Norwich ended 1-1 back in August, with Haji Wright snatching a late point for the league leaders after Mathias Kvistgaarden’s first-half opener.
Norwich vs Coventry Bet Builder Tips
1. Haji Wright – Anytime Goalscorer
Wright is Coventryâs focal forward and leads their attacking output with regular high-quality chances.
He consistently gets into advanced positions where Coventry create their clearest opportunities.
Why: As the main striker, he remains the most likely scorer for Coventry.
2. Jovon Makama – Over 0.5 Shots on Target
Makama starts up front for Norwich and is their primary outlet in attacking transitions.
Even when chances are limited, he is involved in central moves that test the goalkeeper.
Why: Central positioning supports an on-target attempt.
3. Matt Grimes to be Shown a Card
Grimes plays deep in midfield and is frequently required to break up opposition attacks.
High-tempo midfield battles often lead to bookings for holding midfielders.
Why: His defensive role increases booking probability.
4. Oscar Schwartau – Over 1.5 Shots
Schwartau operates in an advanced attacking role and is encouraged to be direct when Norwich progress the ball.
He looks to take responsibility in shooting situations rather than defer possession.
Why: His role and intent support multiple shot attempts.
5. Romain Esse – Over 0.5 Shots on Target
Esse features in Coventryâs attacking rotation and looks to drive forward when space opens up.
He is likely to test the goalkeeper if Coventry commit numbers in attack.
Why: His attacking role supports at least one accurate attempt.
6. Match Total – Over 2.5 Goals
Both teams show attacking intent, with Coventry among the stronger scoring sides and Norwich capable at home.
Game flow and styles suggest chances at both ends.
Why: Combined attacking tendencies support a higher-scoring match.
