After defeating Middlesbrough 1–0 on Friday, Norwich City will try to make it two wins in a row when they welcome Millwall to Carrow Road with kickoff at 10 pm.
Norwich City finished rock-bottom of the Premier League last season, so they were hoping to immediately return to the top flight when the Championship season began. However, the Canaries did not make a strong start.
Dean Smith’s side began with a defeat away at Cardiff City and was only able to share the points in their next match at home to newly promoted Wigan Athletic after Max Aarons scored in a 1-1 draw.
Hoping to build on a penalty shootout win over Birmingham City in the EFL Cup first round after a 2-2 draw in normal time. Norwich made the trip to Hull City at the weekend but could not secure all three points thanks to Marcelino Nunez’s goal after Oscar Estupinan had given their hosts a 2-0 lead.
Millwall faces a tough test Saturday as they take on Derby County, who finished ninth in the Championship last season. Millwall kicked off with a 2-0 win at home over Stoke City but lost to Sheffield United in their second league game. They bounced back quickly with a 3-2 win over Coventry City this past weekend.
