Norwich City and Reading close out the year on Friday (December 30) when they square off at Carrow Road in Week 25 of the EFL Championship. The Canaries are unbeaten in six games against the visitors and will look to continue in the same vein. Norwich failed to find their feet in the Championship, as they fell to a 2-1 loss against ten-man Luton Town on Tuesday.

The Canaries have now lost three of their last four games — a run that saw Dean Smith relieved of his role as head coach. With 35 points from 24 games, Norwich are fifth in the Championship, level on points with Friday’s visitors in eighth place.

Meanwhile, Reading returned to winning ways when they saw off Swansea City 2-1 on home turf. That followed a 3-2 loss away to Birmingham City on December 16, which snapped their two-game winning streak. While the Royals will look to leapfrog Norwich in the standings this weekend, they have struggled away from home. They hold the division’s second-worst record with 10 points from 12 games.

Norwich City vs Reading Team News

Interim managers Steve Weaver and Allan Russell may revert to a back four with Norwich having unsuccessfully used a three at Luton.

Andrew Omobamidele could be the player to drop out, potentially allowing for Onel Hernandez to feature in the final third.

Isaac Hayden may also come back into central midfield as a replacement for Liam Gibbs, but Aaron Ramsey and Todd Cantwell are unlikely to return from injury.

While Ince has options available if he wishes to freshen up his Reading XI, it is plausible that the same team could be named.

Amadou Salif Mbengue and Baba Rahman are alternatives in defensive areas if Ince wishes to make a change.
