The Canaries have announced the first details of their pre-season schedule – a friendly away to Milton Keynes Dons.

City will play Karl Robinson's team at stadium:mk on Friday, August 3 (7.45pm).

The game forms part of their preparations for the 2012-13 Premier League season, which kicks off on Saturday, August 18.

MK Dons have just missed out on promotion to the Championship. They reached the League One play-offs for the second season in a row, but lost to eventual winners Huddersfield in the semi-finals. Last August, in their last meeting with Norwich, the Dons won 4-0 in the Carling Cup second round at Carrow Road, helped by two goals from ex-Canary Luke Chadwick.

Ticket details for City fans for the friendly have yet to be announced.

The rest of the Canaries' pre-season programme has yet to be confirmed, but they have revealed that there will be two home games against top European sides.
