Norwich City have won five of their last six games, and that is the reason why Daniel Farke’s men reign supreme on the top of the table. Next, they travel to New York Stadium to take on league strugglers Rotherham United. On current form, the Canaries should be able to make it six wins in a row.
However, playing sides that are fighting to get out of the relegation zone during this time of the season isn’t easy, and Rotherham have shown some positive signs in the past few games. They scored a late winner against QPR in the last match to pick up all three points. They would definitely give it a good go against the table toppers.
Team News
Daniel Farke has a full-strength squad to choose from as he doesn’t have any injury concerns.
Norwich City Predicted Lineup Vs Rotherham United
Formation (4-2-3-1)
Defence
Eight-time Dutch international Tim Krul is set to continue in goal for the Canaries. Norwich City might be leading the table, but Farke would want to see a much better performance from his team defensively as they have shipped in quite a few goals recently.
Christoph Zimmermann and Ben Godfrey are set to continue as the centre back partnership. Godfrey has been able to win Farke’s trust as he has continued to start over Timm Klose. Jamal Lewis is also a nailed on starter on the left flank. Young Max Aarons’ forward runs from the right has been impressive, and he is set to reprise his usual role as a right back.
Midfield
Kenny McLean has been influential since his arrival in the first eleven, and we don’t see the manager dropping him for this game. Tom Trybull is going to partner him in the middle of the park, and his major job would be to shield the back four.
Marco Stiepermann has thrived as an attacking midfielder this season, and he is pretty much a nailed-on starter in the no. 10 role. Emiliano Buendia scored a brace in the last game, and he should be confident going in this fixture. He should operate from the right. Cuban winger Onel Hernandez has managed seven goals and eight assists in all competitions this season and is a crucial player in Norwich’s setup. The 26-year-old is expected to operate from the left.
Attack
Teemu Pukki is leading the scoring charts as he has managed 24 goals in the Championship so far. The Finnish international is guaranteed starter up front.
