When taking the decision to refresh his Norwich squad during the summer, there were far more positives than negatives for David Wagner after such a disappointing campaign last time around.
As it stands, it is so far so good for the German and the Canaries, four points being accumulated from two games in the Championship and a win being posted by a much-changed side against Queens Park Rangers in the EFL Cup.
The one downside is letting slip a lead on multiple occasions during a 4-4 draw at Southampton last weekend, the Saints equalising with a 96th-minute penalty.
Nevertheless, Wagner can be pleased with a share of the spoils against a potential promotion rival, and it sets his team up to build on their start against Millwall.
Remarkably, four of Norwich’s seven goals in all competitions this season have come in the closing seconds of either half, something that their opponents will be wary of ahead of this encounter
When Millwall upset Middlesbrough on the opening weekend of the season, it appeared that Gary Rowett‘s team were well prepared to make another playoff push.
Although that may still remain the case, a heavy 4-0 defeat at home to Reading in the EFL Cup was followed by losing to Bristol City by a solitary goal in the league.

With three points to show from their first two games, Rowett can be satisfied to a certain degree, yet he will be desperate to see a response from his squad who have netted just one goal in six halves of football.
Almost a year to the day, the corresponding fixture took place in 2022-23, Norwich prevailing 2-0 on that occasion, and they are unbeaten in their last seven matches against the Londoners.
