City recorded a goalless draw with struggling Wigan Athletic on Saturday - with saves from Angus Gunn ensuring they left the DW Stadium with a point.

Norwich will be without striker Josh Sargent who misses tonight's clash with an ankle injury whilst Teemu Pukki is a doubt with a calf problem sustained during a half time warm-up against Hull last week.

That leaves Adam Idah as Norwich's only fit senior striker - with Marcelino Nunez fulfilling a makeshift role in the second half of Saturday's clash in the north west.

Arsenal loanee Marquinhos is set to return to the squad after shaking off an injury concern. Long-term absentees Przemyslaw Placheta (shin), Jon Rowe (ankle), Sam Byram (hamstring) and Isacc Hayden (knee) all remain sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Birmingham arrive at Carrow Road having lost consecutive fixtures against relegation rivals Cardiff and Neil Warnock's Huddersfield Town.

Onel Hernandez' last gasp winner ensured Norwich recorded a dramatic 2-1 victory at St Andrews earlier in the season. They are searching for successive Carrow Road wins for the first time since September.

Birmingham have fitness issues of their own with Troy Deeney, Marc Roberts and Krystian Bielik all doubts for their trip to Carrow Road. John Eustace does welcome Redi Khadra back to the fold.
