Norwich City welcome Cardiff City to Carrow Road in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday, February 17 (KO 3pm).

David Wagner's side have the opportunity to make it 10 games unbeaten at home in all competitions, following Tuesday night's 4-2 win over Watford.

The three points mean the Canaries sit seventh in the Championship table, outside the play-offs on goal difference.

The Opposition

The Bluebirds are in mid-table in the Championship, looking to bounce back from defeats in their two recent league outings.

After beating Watford at the start of the month, Cardiff fell to defeats at home to Preston North End and away to West Bromwich Albion.

Erol Bulut's side sit 14th in the table after 31 games played.

One to Watch

Perry Ng

At full-back, Perry Ng will be a threat both offensively and defensively for Cardiff on Saturday. The 27-year-old is the Bluebirds' joint-top scorer in the league with five goals.

Born in Liverpool, Ng began his career with Crewe Alexandra after joining as an eight-year-old. He featured over 180 times in all competitions for the Alex.

Ng joined Cardiff in the summer of 2021, and was named as the side's Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year for the 2022/23 season.

The Manager

Erol Bulut

As a player, Bulut had notable spells with Fenerbahçe, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Greek sides Panionios and OFI Crete.

Appointed at Cardiff in the summer, Bulut began his managerial career in Turkey with Yeni Malatyaspor, before spells at Alanyaspor, Fenerbahçe, and Gaziantep.

Last Time Out

Back in November, the Canaries scored two late goals to claim a 3-2 win at the Cardiff City Stadium.

Christian Fassnacht put Norwich ahead before the Bluebirds raced in front with goals from Josh Bowler and Callum Robinson. An own goal from Ryan Wintle levelled the game, before Adam Idah's winner gave Wagner's side the three points.
