Norwich City v Preston North End

You cannot beat a 14 hour plus round trip on a Wednesday night however the EFL have scheduled one for us, so it's Norfolk via moonlight for the travelling whites of which I will be one, my favourite roads the M6 and the A14 await as do the statutory road works between Junction 17 and 19 between Sandbach and Stoke.

Wiki on Norwich

Norwich City Football Club (also known as The Canaries or City) is an English professional football club based in Norwich. The club currently participate in the Championship, the second tier of English football, having been relegated from the Premier League in 2016. They were first promoted to the top flight in 1972. Norwich have won the League Cup twice, in 1962 and 1985. The club has never won the top flight, but finished third in 1993.

The club was founded in 1902. Since 1935, Norwich have played their home games at Carrow Road and have a long-standing and fierce rivalry with East Anglian rivals Ipswich Town, with whom they have contested the East Anglian derby 134 times since 1902.

The fans' song "On the Ball, City" is regarded as being the oldest football song in the world which is still in use. The club participate in characteristic yellow and green kits and are nicknamed The Canaries after the history of breeding the birds in the area.

Farke's boys have not had the best of starts this season losing yesterday to the Blunts 2-1 thanks to a late Billy Sharp goal. Farke starts his second full season in charge of the Canaries having lost the services of Maddison who departed to Leicester City for 24 million. He has brought in Jordan who scores when he wants Rhodes, Tim Krul plus several German dudes.
Hernandez seems to be the main threat but pressure is starting to build on the manager with several of the home faithful being less than impressed with their team. They seem to be decent going forward but can struggle at the back.
With two tough away games plus this massive long haul trip Neil may utilise the squad and there may be retrospective active following Gallagher's errant elbow.
Good place to start picking up away points

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
