Norwich City are out to prevent a second successive Carrow Road defeat as they face in-form Middlesbrough tonight. 

The Canaries host their second Championship clash in the space of three days hoping to halt a dismal run of form and quieten the noise surrounding under pressure boss David Wagner.

Norwich squandered a two-goal lead at home to Daniel Farke's Leeds to extend their poor run of form to six defeats in nine matches in all competitions.

A bigger concern is the defensive metrics that show a vulnerability to City's backline - especially as they welcome in-form Boro to NR1 tonight.

Michael Carrick's side are climbing the table after a slow start to the campaign and have won their last six matches in all competitions.

That includes a late 1-0 victory over Birmingham in Wayne Rooney's first game as Blues boss at the weekend. Morgan Rogers scored a last-gasp winner to secure the victory.

A win tonight for the away side would pile pressure on Wagner after some supporters raised questions about his position after the dramatic slump in form.

Only Rotherham, Plymouth and Sheffield Wednesday have taken fewer points than Norwich over the last six games, and nobody has conceded more goals than their 14.

City cannot afford another home defeat, with the supporters becoming restless in the wake of poor performances and results.

They will likely be without first-choice keeper Angus Gunn, who suffered a thigh injury in the first half of Saturday's defeat. He undertook a scan on Monday afternoon and will be replaced by deputy George Long.

Josh Sargent, Ashley Barnes and Grant Hanley all remain sidelined through long-term injuries but Marcelino Nunez is expected to return to the matchday squad after returning back from international duty late on Friday. 

Jacob Sorensen has returned to full team training after a groin issue but requires a few weeks to build up his fitness. Borja Sainz is fully fit and available.
