Teemu Pukki is available for the first time since New Year’s Day and how Norwich need their top scorer to step up. A defeat against fellow strugglers Bournemouth would leave them a minimum of seven points behind 19th. But can Eddie Howe rouse a performance from his injury-stricken side? Recent results suggest not. Bournemouth have four points from their past 11 matches, while Norwich have seven in the same sequence. It looks a possible warm-up for meetings in the Championship next season. Graham Searles
