Norwich City begin a Carrow Road double header by welcoming Watford to NR1 this evening. 

The Canaries are hoping to push the accelerator down on their push for the Championship play-off places with a victory over Valerien Ismael's side to keep the pressure on their top six competitors.

A 2-2 draw with struggling QPR on Saturday was somewhat of a missed opportunity for Norwich, who overturned a 1-0 deficit before surrendering the lead to the bottom three side late on. 

A victory would have drawn them level on points with Coventry and Sunderland - but they are looking for a positive week on their home turf to keep the prospect of a top six finish truly alive. 

Norwich's quest is made more testing by the absence of top-scorer Jonathan Rowe, who has undergone a scan over a hamstring injury sustained in the dying stages of the game at Loftus Road. He will definitely be absent for tonight's game - with David Wagner expected to provide clarity on his condition post-match. 

Shane Duffy is also sidelined with a calf injury that requires a further scan in the week to come. Grant Hanley and Ben Gibson are expected to partner in defence. 

Watford are expected to be without striker Vakoun Bayo after he limped out of their 2-1 defeat to Championship leaders Leicester but are boosted by the return of midfielder Edo Kayembe, who has returned for the African Cup of Nations. 

New signing Emmanuel Dennis is not fit enough to start from the off despite scoring his first goal since his Watford return in January. 

Watford are on the hunt for their first victory in six games and enjoy a positive record over Norwich, losing once since 2016 and winning eight of their previous 11 games at Carrow Road. 

Norwich are hoping to maintain their strong home form and are unbeaten in their last seven in NR1 - beating Coventry 2-1 last time out.
