Swansea followed their comfortable 3-0 home victory over bottom-placed Sheffield Wednesday with another 3-0 win against Millwall at The Den last weekend, marking their first away win of the season. Jamal Lowe converted a penalty in the first half, while captain Matt Grimes and summer signing Mykola Kukharevych added goals in the second half. This win, under the leadership of manager Michael Duff, is their second consecutive victory. However, they are currently just one point above the relegation zone in the Championship. As they prepare for their upcoming match on Wednesday, Swansea aims to maintain their positive momentum. They will be happy to return to South Wales as they have only lost one of their last nine home league games. Swansea has had a mixed record against Norwich in their home matches, winning four and losing four out of their last eight encounters. In April, under former manager Russell Martin, Swansea achieved a 3-0 away win against Norwich. A win in the midweek fixture would result in back-to-back league victories over Norwich for the first time since April 2009.
Swansea City Predicted Lineup
Rushworth; Cabango, Darling, Humphreys; Key, Patino, Grimes, Paterson; Lowe, Cullen; Yates
Norwich City form
Norwich put an end to their three-game losing streak by securing a comfortable 2-0 victory over Birmingham City in the Championship last weekend. Goals from Gabriel Sara and Jonathan Lowe in the second half helped Norwich earn their fifth league win of the season, bringing them within six points of the automatic promotion spots. Norwich has been impressive in front of goal this season, having scored the most goals in the league, with 19 from their first nine matches. They have managed to score at least two goals in six games and have only failed to score in one match. However, Norwich's away form has been disappointing, with three consecutive losses against Rotherham United, Plymouth Argyle, and Fulham, conceding a total of 10 goals. On the other hand, manager David Wagner has struggled in previous encounters with Swansea, drawing and losing one match each while in charge of Huddersfield Town, and suffering a 3-0 defeat as Norwich manager six months ago.
Norwich City Predicted Lineup
Gunn; Stacey, Duffy, Gibson, Giannoulis; Sara, McLean; Fassnacht, Rowe, Placheta; Idah
