Norwich went undefeated in their first five games in December, recording three wins against the likes of Bristol City, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town in the period. However, the Canaries couldn’t sustain that impressive run, losing back-to-back away matches against West Bromwich Albion and Millwall with an identical scoreline of 1-0. Nevertheless, David Wagner’s side will be pleased to be back on home soil on Monday, having won seven of their 12 league outings at the Carrow Road this season. Norwich finished 13th in the Championship last term following their relegation from the Premier League, but they will be hoping to push for a playoff spot this term. Meanwhile, the Canaries and Southampton played out a pulsating 4-4 draw at St Mary’s Stadium earlier this season.
Southampton, on the other hand, are in stunning form, stitching together a 17 game unbeaten run in the Championship, recording 12 wins in the period. After back-to-back 1-1 draws with Watford and Coventry, the Saints won four successive games against the likes of Blackburn Rovers, Queens Park Rangers, Swansea City and Plymouth, scoring 12 goals and conceding just once in the process. Their latest success came against Plymouth on Friday night thanks to second-half efforts from Carlos Alcaraz and Che Adams. Russell Martin’s side have won 15, drawn six and lost four of their 25 second tier games to collect 51 points, just three shy of the automatic promotion slot.
Norwich City probable starting lineup: Gunn, Stacey, Batth, Gibson, McCallum, Fassnacht, Sara, McLean, Rowe, Barnes, Ui-Jo
Southampton probable starting lineup: Bazunu, Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Manning, Smallbone, Charles, Alcaraz, A Armstrong, Adams, Edozie
