NORWICH TEAM NEWS
Daniel Farke will make late calls on Grant Hanley (quad), Dennis Srbeny, Jordan Rhodes and Tom Trybull (all knee issues). The quartet did train on Friday and will be in consideration if they have no adverse reaction.
Kenny McLean is ruled out until after the international break with ankle ligament damage. Mario Vrancic (pelvis) is back in training but not under consideration. Russell Martin left the club on Friday while Nelson Oliveira remains out of favour. Matt Jarvis (knee) and Carlton Morris (knee) are longer term absentees.
FROM THE DUGOUT
'It is always difficult as a new coach to adapt to everything, the league, the players already there, to integrate new players. You have to stick to your plan and believe in what you are doing.
'I don't know if that makes things harder or not for us. Mick (McCarthy) would also be highly motivated, after waiting so long for a win.
'I am full of respect of what Mick did. Paul Hurst does it in a slightly different way, but I believe looking at Ipswich's performances they deserve more points.'
Daniel Farke
'We have to be ready for what Norwich will bring, but also be fully prepared to try and take our game to Norwich and make sure they are ready to stand up to that. 'I've seen many a derby game where you get to the end of it and think 'that was just a battle'.
'If that's what it takes to win then I am more than happy with that.
'I don't think any fan will care how we play on Sunday though as long as we come out the right side of the result.'
