Changes afoot for Canaries

Norwich will make at least two changes for the Barclays Premiership game against Portsmouth.

Norwich will make at least two changes for the Barclays Premiership game against Portsmouth.

Worthington confirmed that Leon McKenzie, a used substitute in each of Norwich’s seven league games so far, would start the game. It will almost certainly be in place of Gary Doherty, who he replaced at half-time at Liverpool last Saturday.

Worthington also confirmed he would abandon the diamond midfield shape so one of Damien Francis, Gary Holt or Youssef Safri will be dropped to accommodate a naturally wide player, either Paul McVeigh or Mattias Jonson. David Bentley, who started on the bench at Anfield and also came on at half-time, could also start this time.

Team (from): Green, Edworthy, Fleming, Charlton, Drury, Jonson, Francis, Safri, Bentley, Huckerby, McKenzie, McVeigh, Holt, Doherty, Helveg, Svensson, Mulryne, Ward.
