Not many would have predicted that Norwich City would be in the automatic promotion places heading towards Christmas, but Daniel Farke is evidently working wonders with the Canaries this season. 

Farke's side are just a point behind league-leaders Leeds United and will be keen to return to top spot at the weekend when they travel to Ewood Park to face Blackburn Rovers.

The Canaries have been hugely impressive this season, and supporters will be dreaming of a return to the Premier League after a spell away from the top flight.

In particular, the performances from Teemu Pukki have certainly stood out in this campaign and he will be hoping to fire his side to promotion heading into 2019.

It's sure to be a potentially tricky fixture against a Blackburn side that on their day, can cause any team in the Championship problems.

So, how do we expect Norwich to line up for this one?

Find out here....

Krul has started every league game for Farke's side and has shown glimpses of his quality this season, which will be pleasing to see for supporters.

He will need to be on his game from the first whistle though at the weekend, as it's likely to be a busy afternoon for the shot-stopper against an attack-minded Blackburn side.

Aarons really impressed Daniel Farke last week and also had a goal to show for his efforts.

The 18-year-old has two goals and three assists to his name from right-back and is showing remarkable improvement each week for the Canaries.

He has a huge future ahead of him.

Zimmermann has made 17 appearances in the Championship this season and is sure to be one of the first names on the team-sheet.

He was forced off with an injury in the draw against Bristol City last weekend, but he has recovered and is expected to keep his place in the starting XI ahead of the returning Grant Hanley.

Godfrey has started the last two league games for the Canaries and has impressed for Daniel Farke's side.

He will be keen to build on his impressive recent form after breaking through to the starting XI.

At the age of 20, he could be the latest youngster to be given a chance in the first-team, which will be pleasing to see for everyone involved with the club.

Lewis is another one of the club's brightest young talents and he is showing that this season.

He has only missed two league games and with a lack of competition for places at left-back, he is a certain starter for the Canaries against Blackburn this weekend.

Vrancic has been Norwich's best player in recent weeks and will be confident of taking his good form into the game against Blackburn this weekend.

He's a more attack-minded midfielder and complimented Alexander Tettey well in the midfield against Bristol City, where the Canaries were forced to settle for a point.

Norwich's captain's impressive performances often go unnoticed, with Tettey's off the ball work being as impressive as when he is on the ball.

His experience and leadership has been vital in Norwich's promotion push this season and he's another name that is likely to start at Ewood Park at the weekend.

The young Argentine has been hugely impressive in his debut season in England and is technically one of the most creative players in the Championship on his day.

Buendia didn't have the best of games against Bristol City last weekend, but he should keep his place in the side after impressing earlier on in the season for the Canaries.

The German midfielder netted his third goal of the season in the draw with the Robins last weekend and he'll be keen to add to that tally this weekend.

He has made more starts for Norwich in the league this season than he did in all of last year, he's a certain starter for Daniel Farke's side.

Hernandez has been ruled out of action through injury for parts of this season, but after getting some much-needed minutes against Bristol City last weekend, he will be confident of returning to the starting XI.

He is likely to replace Todd Cantwell, who hasn't taken his recent chance of a run in the starting XI for Daniel Farke's men.

Pukki has been a revelation for Daniel Farke's side this season and he will be keen to be the man to fire Norwich to promotion.

It's likely that Farke will opt to go with one up-front against a Blackburn side who will test the Canaries defence, so Pukki is sure to be the first-choice striker Farke calls upon.

He already has 12 league goals to his name in a hugely successful first season in English football.
