Norwich City return to Sky Bet Championship action after the international break, hosting Plymouth Argyle in a Good Friday clash (KO 3pm).

Just before the break, the Canaries were 3-0 winners away to Stoke City. Josh Sargent, Gabriel Sara and Ashley Barnes were on the scoresheet at the bet365 Stadium. The three points mean David Wagner's side remain sixth in the Championship table. **The Opposition** After promotion from League One last season, Plymouth sit in 18th in the second tier so far this campaign. The Pilgrims will look to end their run of four games without a league win, as they sit two points above the relegation spots. They fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Preston North End in their last league outing. **One to Watch**
**Morgan Whittaker** With 18 Championship goals to his name so far this season, Morgan Whittaker will be Plymouth's main attacking threat. The 23-year-old began his career with hometown side Derby County, before joining Swansea City in February 2021. Whittaker spent the first half of the 2022/23 season on loan at Plymouth, before returning to Home Park on a permanent basis in July.

**The Manager**
**Ian Foster** Replacing Steven Schumacher who left for Stoke in December, Ian Foster has been in charge of Plymouth since January. The 47-year-old had a spell in Ireland as manager of both Galway United and Dundalk, before coaching roles at Coventry City and Portsmouth, eventually joining the FA. Foster went on to manage various England youth sides, before becoming Steven Gerrard's assistant at Al-Ettifaq prior to his move to Plymouth. **Last Time Out** In September, Plymouth claimed all three points over Norwich in the reverse fixture at Home Park. A strong first half from the hosts saw them race into a 4-0 lead, adding two goals in injury time at the end of the half to kill off the game. Adam Idah scored twice in the second half for the Canaries, but Plymouth would be 6-2 winners on the day.
