Norwich City Under-23s will aim to finish 2018 on a positive note on Monday night when they host Sunderland at Colney Training Centre.
It's been a busy recent period for David Wright's group and the match with the Black Cats will mark their third outing in just seven days.
The Canaries will be looking for their first victory since September 21 and face a Sunderland side who lie bottom of Premier League 2 Division 2, with just four points from their 12 games so far.
The two sides last met back on September 16, with an Ant Spyrou strike helping the City team pick up a 1-1 draw that day.
