Norwich are no longer pointless but still appear a way off the mark so far. The international break will have given Daniel Farke extra time to plan a resurgence but he needs his players to start showing up. Recent personal reasons for missing games aside, one-time bright spark Todd Cantwell’s last goal in the Premier League was 21 games ago on 1 January 2020. And while Norwich are predictably struggling, Brighton have confounded expectations, appearing to be this season’s surprise package. Graham Potter will expect a positive result and deservedly so as his side have taken seven points from three matches on the road so far. Tariq Lamptey may also make his long-awaited return after 10 months out. Graham Searles
