Carrick must choose whether to keep Matt Crooks, who scored at Ashton Gate or give Cameron Archer a chance to play in the Boro attack. Riley McGree may likewise return to the side, however, Carrick could pick against dabbling with his protection or midfield.
Due to a knock, Dael Fry was unable to play against Bristol City, and his evaluation will continue. In the meantime, Teemu Pukki might be moved back to the Norwich substitute bench, and Josh Sargent or Adam Idah might be used in the middle. Sargent may remain in a deeper role, allowing Idah to return in the final third, as Jacob Sorensen is needed in defense due to Grant Hanley and Ben Gibson’s injuries.
