Norwich v Hull

Last updated : 24 September 2010 By BBC Sport

Hull have slight concerns over Jimmy Bullard and Craig Fagan, who have been troubled by back and groin problems respectively, but should be passed fit.

Caleb Folan (thigh) and summer signing James Harper (foot) are yet to appear this season, and remain sidelined.

MATCH PREVIEW

Fourth in the Championship table - their highest position for four years - and having won four of their last six league games, Norwich are going great guns under boss Paul Lambert.

The Canaries have scored in all seven league games since their return to the second tier and, having won their last two home matches, they could be forgiven for relishing the prospect of hosting a Hull side who have been dismal away from home.

Lambert was one year old the last time Hull won at Carrow Road. That was in September 1970, and the Tigers' travelling fans must feel like they have been waiting since then for a win to celebrate. Their last victory on the road was actually in March 2009, leaving Hull without a win in 27 away matches.

Even since relegation from the top flight, Hull have not picked up a single away point, and they have scored only one away goal. Overall, they have failed to score in four Championship games this season. Only bottom side Portsmouth have failed to score more times, but only leaders QPR have kept more clean sheets than the Tigers, who have managed four shut-outs.
