David Wagner has named an unchanged line-up for Norwich City's trip to face Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium.

Marcelino Nunez makes the bench after recovering from a hip injury, with the visitors able to leapfrog Hull into the top six with a win in the north east.

Jonathan Rowe will be out until April with a hamstring injury, leaving only Borja Sainz and Christian Fassnacht as regular first-team wingers.

Former City midfielder Jonny Howson has recovered from injury in time to start for the home side.
