Norwich City v Crystal Palace: match preview

Norwich City v Crystal Palace
Norwich City v Crystal Palace: probable starters in bold, contenders in light.

Norwich return to the top flight in reasonable fettle although Youssouf Mulumbu, the midfielder signed from West Brom, misses out with a broken metatarsal. Another new signing, Robbie Brady from Hull, is likely to fill in for the injured Martin Olsson at left-back. Glenn Murray should start for Crystal Palace despite Bournemouth’s interest, and Yohan Cabaye will make his debut. Nick Ames
