Team News
Philippe Clement arrived at Norwich with an extensive injury list to deal with and although some of those players have since returned, the likes of Jeffrey Schlupp and Papa Amadou Diallo remain sidelined.
Shane Duffy is also still out but he could return before the end of the month, however, ACL victims Ante Crnac and Mirko Topic have been ruled out for the rest of the season.
Stoke boss Mark Robins has limited options at full-back, with Eric Junior Bocat and Aaron Cresswell both injured, while Junior Tchamadeu is away representing Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Influential midfielder Lewis Baker underwent ankle surgery earlier this week, having already been out for almost two months.

The stats
Norwich have only lost one of their last five fixtures, picking up 11 points in the process.
Only four Championship teams have conceded more goals than the Canaries this term, although their recent defensive record is relatively decent.
Stoke’s narrow victory over Hull earned them their first away points since early November.
The Potters have failed to win any of their last 10 meetings with Norwich, a run that dates back to 2018.

Prediction
Although he knows there is still plenty of work to do, Clement will undoubtedly be pleased with the progress Norwich have made since his arrival in East Anglia.
The Canaries lost their opening seven home league matches this season prior to Clement’s appointment, but have since earned 10 points at Carrow Road.
Having won two of their last three matches by a one-goal margin, a similar result for Norwich on Sunday will likely move them out of the relegation zone. However, with only two clean sheets to their name so far, a victory against a quality Stoke side seems unlikely.
Nevertheless, their opponents’ form has dropped off significantly in recent weeks. The Potters are in danger of undoing a lot of the good work they achieved at the beginning of the campaign, having celebrated just three wins in their last 10 encounters.
With both teams capable of inflicting damage on one another but perhaps missing a lethal attacking edge, a 1-1 draw seems an entirely reasonable prediction — particularly given the Canaries’ recent infatuation with that scoreline.
