Norwich City hit with big injury blow as West Brom look to capitalise on rotten Carrow Road home form

West Brom will be looking to capitalise on Norwich City's rotten early season home form - when they head to Carrow Road on Wednesday evening.

Albion, who have picked up two wins from their three away games so far this season, making the trip to the Canaries looking to end a run of matches without a win.

And this season's form book looks like it might just be with them - with Liam Manning's side suffering from an early season blip on home soil.

Manning, who arrived at the club from Bristol City in the summer, has lost all four home games so far in all competitions - with Norwich's two wins and two draws all coming on the road.

Looking back even further, they have won just five home games this calendar year with one of those coming against Albion back in March.

Manning is keen to change that on Wednesday - and knows what he is likely to expect when Ryan Mason's side roll into town.

He said: "We have to earn credit. We haven't got enough credit in the bank at the minute. We have to give the fans something to get behind, and there are numerous parts to that.

"They're hard to beat. I watched so many games in the week and the margins are really fine. We have to make sure that we step up and take the game to them. We'll be quite clear on how they'll set up, but once the whistle blows it's on us."

Manning has been boosted by the return of the experienced Kenny McLean, but they remain without Gabriel Forsyth and defender Shane Duffy - while midfielder Anis Ben Slimane is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a quad injury.
