Round three of the EFL Championship comes to an end on Sunday (August 20) when Norwich City and Millwall go head-to-head at Carrow Road.
Norwich booked their spot in the second round of the EFL Cup with a 1-0 win over Queens Park Rangers on Wednesday. David Wagner’s side now turn their attention to the Championship. They kicked off the new campaign with a 2-1 win over Hull City on August 5, one week before a pulsating 4-4 draw at Southampton.
Norwich’s solid start to the season has been in keeping with their impressive performance in pre-season, where they went unbeaten in seven games, winning four.
