Angus Gunn does keep his starting place in the Norwich City team as he returns to former club Southampton for Premier League action this evening.

Tim Krul returns to the bench and midfielder Lukas Rupp is also back among the substitutes after injury, with Michael McGovern and Ozan Kabak dropping out of the squad.

Gunn returns to the scene of the 9-0 defeat to Leicester in October 2019 that led to Ralph Hasenhuttl dropping him and eventually selling him to Norwich, after a loan at Stoke.

The Saints are also unchanged but make two changes on the bench, with Harry Lewis replacing Willy Caballero as the replacement keeper and left-back Romain Perraud replacing Will Smallbone,

Norwich are bottom after an upturn in form was ended by defeats to title challengers Manchester City and Liverpool, but Southampton are up to 10th after just one defeat in their last nine top-flight matches.

Defensive midfielder Jacob Sorensen has returned to training for City after a knee injury but is not involved tonight. Ireland internationals Andrew Omobamidele (back) and Adam Idah (knee) are still sidelined.

The hosts have left-back Perraud back from illness after a one-game absence but goalkeeper Alex McCarthy, centre-back Lyanco and winger Nathan Tella are still sidelined.
