Norwich City vs Huddersfield Town Preview
Norwich are set to name an unchanged side after beating Aston Villa. That will mean a watching brief for Alex Tettey, Wes Hoolahan and Steven Naismith. Nelson Oliviera will spearhead the attack as Cameron Jerome is still struggling with a back problem while Louis Thompson and Matt Jarvis are definitely ruled out.
Huddersfield will be without Mark Hudson who is strugglng with a hamstring injury. He joins Sean Scannell and Joe Lolley in the treatment room. Tommy Smith, Chris Lowe, Rajiv Van La Parra and Kasey Palmer were left out against Burton Albion and will be hoping to earn recalls here.

Norwich City vs Huddersfield Town Prediction
Norwich secured a morale boosting victory over Aston Villa through the week and will be looking to build on that here. There’s still a lot of football to be played but automatic promotion could be beyond the Canaries now. Getting 3 points in this match will truly enhance their claims on a playoff berth.
Huddersfield left it late to take the points away to Burton and this will be tougher. That result was their first away win in 5 attempts. The Terriers are unbeaten in three Championship matches but come up against a Norwich side with renewed belief.
Two of the early pace setters meet here and while Huddersfield’s dip could have been anticipated, it’s been a poor run for Norwich of late. However, back to back home wins suggest that they may have turned the corner and I’m tipping them to make it 3 in a row at Carrow Road.
