Philippe Clement's side return to Championship action on Wednesday, October 14 (7.45pm KO), welcoming Southampton to Carrow Road under the lights.
The Canaries will be looking to get back to winning ways and end a run of three consecutive league defeats when they host the Saints in NR1.
The Opposition
Tonder Eckert's side arrive in Norfolk on the back of a derby victory over Portsmouth on Sunday, with James Bree's 20th-minute strike proving decisive. Southampton had to see out the remainder of the contest with ten men after Cameron Bragg was sent off in first-half stoppage time for a second bookable offence.
