It's the Norwich fans that are making the most noise, so, maybe they can sense something.

You have to start to create chances and try and get goal. You don't want to sit back now.

Harvey Vale inches away from an opener for the hosts as he wins a free-kick a few yards outside the Clarets box and when whips a gorgeous left-footed free-kick over the wall but agonisingly past the angle of post and bar.

An early corner for Norwich is headed into the box and Jacob Widell Zetterstrom punches it clear.

Norwich work it back down the left and Darlin Yongwa fizzes a shot across the face of goal.

It's the hosts who have begun on top as Terry Devlin has seen a shot charged down while Adrian Segecic has dragged a left-footed effort past the upright after being found by Odin Bailey in the box,

Changes galore for both sides. Under pressure Watford boss Alessio Dionisi has made four alterations with Omar Traore, Marc Bola, Stephy Mavididi and Othmane Maamma coming in.

Meanwhile, Lincoln have made five changes as Tom Bayliss, Callum Elder, Chiedozie Ogbene, Daniel Oyegoke and Freddie Draper get the nod.

Great chance for Blackburn to take the lead as it drops for Todd Cantwell in the area about 15 yards out.

Cantwell curls towards the far corner but Stoke goalkeeper Viktor Johansson is across well with a big left hand to parry it away.

It's not a bad start from Derby. They're asking questions of Norwich early on.

First shot of the game after just 19 seconds.

Sean McLoughlin drives forward from the back and has a crack for Blackburn from range but Viktor Johansson is down well to save.

Then at the other end, Djibril Soumare curls an effort a long way over for Stoke.

Derby are without the injured Ryan Hedges and David Ozoh while Jack Robinson and Rhian Brewster drop to the bench.

Defender Dion Sanderson returns from suspension with Alex Mowatt and Oscar Fraulo also starting, while it's a big night for 19-year-old Isaac Gordon who makes his senior Derby debut at right-back.

Norwich bring in Harry Darling and Darlin Yongwa to start with Ben Chrisene and Jose Cordoba among the substitutes.

Dennis Cirkin and Koki Saito return for the Hoops in their only two changes from the humbling at Southampton while Fabio Celestini has named an unchanged Clarets XI from the one which played out a stalemate with Portsmouth in his first game in charge.

Odin Bailey has been handed a first Pompey start by John Mousinho and Tyrese Shade, Terry Devlin and Ebou Adams also return with Pompey’s bench looking the strongest it has in a while.

Adam Idah, Franco, Marko Stamenic and Jenson Seelt come in for the Swans after the 4-0 thumping of Blackburn.

Two changes apiece for Blackburn and Stoke tonight.

Sam Morsy returns following suspension for Rovers and Hayden Carter starts. Tom Atcheson is not in the squad but Moussa Baradgi drops to the bench.

The Potters are without key midfielder Ethan Galbraith who is suspended after picking up five yellow card. Maksym Taloverov and Million Manhoef are, while Bosun Lawal is among the subs.

Mark McGuinness, Jairo Riedewald and Tom Cannon start.

A nice round of applause from both sets of players and the fans at Ewood Park to remember Peter Dobing just before we kicked off.

Considered a legend at both clubs, Dobing died aged 87 last week.
