Norwich City welcome West Ham United to Carrow Road on Saturday as the Canaries search for their first win of the season.

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton is under pressure as the Canaries head into a Premier League battle with West Ham United this weekend.

Hughton has yet to pick up his first victory at Carrow Road and the former Championship side will be eager to push on from their 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur before the international break.

Meanwhile, the Hammers will be buoyed by their 3-0 win over Fulham just under a fortnight ago.

Hughton has a clean bill of health for their home tie with the Hammers, which means that Russell Martin should be included in the lineup after pulling out of international duty with Scotland due to an ankle injury.

Sam Allardyce remains without loan striker Andy Carroll, who suffered a thigh strain on his debut for the London club, while George McCartney should return to the left-back position after recovering from an ankle problem.

Current form

Norwich: LDD
West Ham: WLW

Possible lineups

Norwich: Ruddy; Martin, Barnett, Bassong, Garrido; Snodgrass, Howson, Johnson, Pilkington; Jackson, Holt

West Ham: Jaaskelainen; Demel, Tomkins, Collins, McCartney; Vaz Te, Noble, Diame, Taylor; Nolan; Cole

Sports Mole says: 1-2
