Norwich City head coach Daniel Farke has named an unchanged team for today's East Anglian derby battle at Carrow Road.

Harrison Reed remains at right wing-back despite a back complaint during the week, with fit-again captain Ivo Pinto again on the bench.

Nelson Oliveira also continues as Farke's starting striker despite going 10 games without a goal and missing a penalty during last weekend's 1-1 draw at Derby.

The Canaries have lost just one of their last eight Championship games to move level on points with their local rivals in mid-table and are looking to build on an impressive performance at high-flying Derby.

City are also looking to extend a nine-game unbeaten run in the East Anglian derby – the longest unbeaten streak in the long history of the fixture.

Ipswich have made three changes to match up to City's 3-4-3 formation, with Dominic Iorfa coming in for Jordan Spence at right wing-back and Adam Webster coming in to a back three in defence.

Grant Ward and on-loan Manchester City forward Bersant Celina also drop to the bench, with Stephen Gleeson coming into the attack.

Town have won only two of their last nine games but the only defeat in their last five was 1-0 at home to runaway league leaders Wolves, beating Leeds 1-0 and drawing 1-1 at Bolton before that game and winning 2-0 at Sunderland after that defeat, before a 0-0 home draw with lowly Burton last weekend.

Norwich: Gunn; Hanley, Zimmermann, Klose; Reed, Tettey (C), Leitner, Lewis; Maddison, Murphy, Oliveira. Subs: McGovern (GK), Pinto, Stiepermann, Vrancic, Watkins, Hernandez, Srbeny

Ipswich: Bialkowski; Carter-Vickers, Chambers (C), Webster; Iorfa, Skuse, Connolly, Knudsen; Gleeson, Waghorn, Garner. Subs: Crowe (GK), Spence, Hyam, Celina, McGoldrick, Carayol, Ward
