Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Norwich vs Everton in the Premier League on Saturday; kick-off 3pm.
Norwich will have midfielder Todd Cantwell available for the Premier League match against Everton.
Cantwell, who has been linked with a move away during the January transfer window, missed the midweek defeat at West Ham through illness but has resumed training.
American forward Josh Sargent is also expected back in the squad after not featuring at the London Stadium as his partner gave birth. Mathias Normann (pelvis), Billy Gilmour (ankle), Lukas Rupp (hamstring), Andrew Omobamidele (back) and Christoph Zimmermann (ankle) all continue their recovery.
Anwar El Ghazi could make his Everton debut following his loan move from Aston Villa on Thursday.
Fellow January signings Nathan Patterson and Vitalii Mykolenko are set to appear in a Premier League matchday squad for the first time.
Tom Davies is recovering from hamstring surgery while Alex Iwobi is away on international duty with Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Another Norwich game, another win to nil on their opponents copped the return vs West Ham. I had mistimed my jump off that particular train as I put my faith in Dean Smith's side to at least score at West Ham - something their expected goals data pointed to - but if anything, Norwich turned in their worst attacking performance under Smith. That is a huge worry as Teemu Pukki and Milot Rashica were both fit to start. The excuses are running out. It's now over 551 minutes since the Canaries scored in the Premier League.
However, if the season started on October 2, they wouldn't be bottom. Everton would.
Rafa Benitez's team have won only one of their last 12 Premier League games, taking six points from 36. This is a situation where I don't want to back either team to win, so the draw has to be the play at 12/5 with Sky Bet.
