Prediction: 1-0
Norwich City
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers, Norwich City square off against Wycombe Wanderers at Adams Park. The Canaries are on a three-game winning run in the Championship ahead of the trip to Wycombe and they surely want to give fans yet another reason for celebration. Wycombe set up a meeting with Norwich City in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup by beating the likes of Northampton Town and Forest Green on penalties and they are now on a quest to claim first major scalp in the process. Wycombe certainly want this win more than Norwich City and seeing that the Canaries coach Daniel Farke is unlikely to field the best possible side against Wycombe, we are tempted to put our money on the underdogs. The two teams meet for the first time ever in the League Cup.

Highlighted Team (Norwich City):
After spending only one season in the Premier League, Norwich City dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. Norwich City are located in Norwich, Norfolk and they welcome their rivals at Carrow Road. The stadium was built and opened in 1935 and the capacity of the venues is 27,137 (all-seater). However the stadium’s record attendance is 43,984. The Canaries have won two League Cup trophies (1973, 1975) and their main rivals are Ipswich Town. The two teams have been facing each other in the East Anglian Derby since 1902. The colour of Norwich City’s home kit is yellow and green and that is the main reason why they are known as the Canaries.
