Norwich are fighting for their lives in the relegation battle, but it is the lack of quality in both boxes that could prove the difference. That issue has again been their undoing here, with little to show for their efforts despite edging the first-half outing so far.

CLOSE! Murphy delivers the inswinging corner from the left flank towards the near post. Burn gets in front of Giannoulis and deftly flicks towards the bottom-right corner. Fortunately for the hosts, the centre-back's effort narrowly flies past the far post and out for a goal-kick.

Longstaff and Normann challenge one another on the touchline for a loose ball, with the latter sustaining a little knock to his ankle. The midfielder goes down and receives some quick treatment before play gets back under way.

Smith's hosts have shaded the opening stages at Carrow Road, but have nothing to show for their hard work yet. Both teams just need that one spark of quality to kick the game into life.
