Match Preview | Fulham v Norwich City (Carabao Cup)

Match Previews•

26th September 2023

David Wagner is expected to rotate his starting XI after the defeat at Plymouth Argyle on Saturday. He remains without five injured senior players while deadline day signing Danny Batth is cup-tied having represented Sunderland in their first round loss on penalties to Crewe Alexandra. **The Opposition** Our hosts on Wednesday night are coming off the back of an impressive season in the Premier League where they finished 10th. With two wins, two draws and two defeats in their opening six games of this season, they are 11th. They reached the third round courtesy of a penalty shoot-out win over Tottenham Hotspur last time out. **One to Watch**
**Joao Palhinha** Fulham supporters will have been happy to see Joao Palhinha's deadline day transfer to Bayern Munich fall through at the final hurdle. The Portugal international has been a revelation at the heart of their midfield since joining from Sporting CP in July 2022 for £20 million. He recently signed a new deal at Craven Cottage, and Norwich's fortunes will depend heavily on how they are able to break past him.

**The Manager
Marco Silva** Marco Silva first arrived in England when he was appointed Hull City boss in 2017. He then spent time in charge at both Watford and Everton before landing in Fulham in 2021. He brought them back to the Premier League at the first time of asking, winning the 2021/22 Championship title. He had previously enjoyed a 15-year playing career, spent largely in his native Portugal.
