Norwich have no new injury worries after their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea on Boxing Day and are likely to be unchanged for the visit of Manchester City.
John Ruddy (thigh) remains a long-term absentee, while Andrew Surman (knee) and Steven Whittaker (hip) could both miss out again.
Manchester City have no real new concerns, though Pablo Zabaleta did pick up a cut to the head and played on in the 1-0 defeat to Sunderland. Aleksandar Kolarov (knee) may make a return but it is a big doubt while Maicon (knee) is also out.
Mario Balotelli is likely to miss the match, as David Platt revealed he is still feeling the effects of an illness, but Carlos Tevez (illness) "should" be fit in time according to the assistant manager.
Samir Nasri and Gael Clichy could both return, but both Jack Rodwell (hamstring) and Micah Richards (knee) will be out until the New Year.
