Norwich City are set for a reunion with Russell Martin today as they resume their Championship season away at Swansea. 

The Canaries are back in league action following a three week hiatus owing to the World Cup in Qatar, with Dean Smith's hope that they would return as a 'different animal' set to be put to the test.

City travelled Stateside for a warm-weather training camp where their work out of possession was put to the test by Smith and his coaching team. 

They concluded their preparations for this clash with a behind closed doors friendly against Premier League champions Manchester City at St George's Park last weekend. 

1,000 City fans have made the trip to South Wales hoping to see a much-improved performance after a frustrating run of results prior to the World Cup shutdown. 

Norwich will be boosted by the return of Adam Idah and Andrew Omobamidele following injuries. Josh Sargent and Marcelino Nunez are major doubts for this game. 

Both Sam Byram and Jacob Sorensen remain unavailable but are now in the final stages of their rehabilitation programme and are poised for a festive return. 

In their way will be Martin's Swans, who sit 8th in the table and find themselves searching for an uplift of results after four draws in their last five matches. 

This is Martin's first reunion with the club where he spent nine years as a player - but comes as a manager. He will be looking to put past loyalties and relationships to one side. 

The Welsh side will seek to dominate possession and starve Norwich of the ball this afternoon. Smith's hope that their off-the-ball work will be tested may well come true.
