Norwich City will face Southampton in a lunchtime kick-off at Carrow Road on Saturday, December 13 (KO 12.30pm).
City go into this fixture after back-to-back away games, a defeat to Watford followed by a share of the points at Bramall Lane in midweek.
Southampton are one of the form teams in the division with six wins from their last seven games, scoring three or more goals in five of their last six.
**Pre-match**
Supporters are reminded to arrive early to help make sure that all supporters are in their seats for kick-off.
The closer to kick-off time that you arrive, the more likely you will be to find yourself in a queue – regardless of our best efforts to get everyone in quickly.
