• AWAY: 11/2 (6.50) – 15.4%

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

Crystal Palace need a dose of positivity following back-to-back wins in the Premier League and the Eagles will be targeting a win over Norwich in the Carabao Cup to lift spirits. Palace at 9/20 favourites to triumph at home to their Championship opponents.

Norwich City are unbeaten after three competitive outings, though they drew the last two of those matches and they are priced as 11/2 underdogs to upset the odds at Selhurst Park. You can find more football tips for the weekend on our football predictions page.

Player to watch – Josh Sargent

Norwich striker Josh Sargent has been in good goal-getting form in the early exchanges of the new Championship season and the American forward managed to score in each of City’s last two games in the division.

Can Sargent threaten the Eagles?

Josh Sargent should be brimming with confidence following his recent goal-scoring run and the 24-year-old will be eager to test himself against a Premier League opponent in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening.
