Daniel Farke said he expects Saturday’s FA Cup match against Portsmouth to be a tough game, with the City boss preparing to make several changes as key players remain out with injuries.
Norwich will take on the current League One leaders at Carrow Road in the third round of the cup, with kick-off at 5.30pm.
And Farke said they want to put out a strong side to make it through to the next round, offering game-time to players who are returning from injury while also resting those who have been involved in all of the recent league games.
