Having followed up their opening day win over Hull City with that thrilling 4-4 draw at Southampton last weekend, David Wagner’s side have four points from those two league games.
Millwall meanwhile, will be aiming to respond after back to back defeats to Reading and Bristol City in the League Cup and Championship respectively, that have seen them come back down to earth after that impressive opening day win at Middlesbrough.
With this game set to be played after the rest of this weekend’s Championship fixture list, both sides will find themselves looking to keep up with the early pacesetters once they kick-off in East Anglia.
As a result, neither is likely to want to give anything away, meaning we could be set for an intriguing encounter between two teams who will be expected to challenge for a top six spot this season.
So with that in mind, we’ve taken a look at some of the key issues to be dealt with ahead of this game, right here.
Latest Norwich and Millwall team news
Norwich will still be without a handful of senior players for this clash with Gary Rowett’s side.
Midfielder Jacob Sorensen, defender Jonathan Tomkinson and attacker Borja Sainz – who is still waiting to make his senior debut for the club after joining from Turkish side Giresunspor earlier this summer – all remain long-term injury absentees, who are expected to be unavailable until around the September international at least.
Millwall meanwhile, could welcome back Murray Wallace, with the defender having missed out on the defeat to Bristol City after suffering a clash of heads during the cup defeat to Reading.
However, attacking midfielder George Honeyman remains absent with a quad problem that has kept him out of action so far this season.
You can watch the match at Carrow Road on Sky Sports. The first half will be shown on Sky Sports Main Event (Sky channel 401), with the full game being broadcast on Sky Sports Football (Sky channel 403).

There are still a small number home tickets available at Carrow Road for Sunday’s game between the two sides.
Tickets for both sets of supporters are priced £26 for adults, £16 for over 65s and 18-20s, £11 for Under 18s, and £6 for Under 12s.
Millwall have been allocated a total of 2,022 tickets for their away supporters. As of Tuesday afternoon, there were less than 200 tickets remaining for supporters of Gary Rowett’s side who may be hoping to make the trip to Carrow Road to watch the game on Saturday afternoon.
The 2023/24 season is now underway, and while managers will be focusing on their upcoming games, injuries and results could change how they approach the final days of this window.
There have been lots of comings and goings from all 24 Championship teams, and that is likely going to continue as the deadline gets ever closer.
As we wait for the next round of Championship football, here at Football League World, we have looked at all the latest transfer news coming out of the division…
According to Football Insider, Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion have joined Scottish Premiership side Rangers in the race to sign Jake Cooper from Millwall.
Cooper is in the final year of his contract at The Den, and it seems Leeds and West Brom among others are looking to sign the centre-back for a low fee.
Rangers have held a long-term interest in the 28-year-old, and it was revealed by Football Insider earlier in the week that they had made contact to sign the defender.
Cooper has been a crucial player for Millwall through the years, but his contract situation puts him at risk of leaving for nothing next summer.
It was reported by the Evening Standard, that Premier League side Everton may look to strengthen their goalkeeping options with the addition of Alex McCarthy from Southampton.
However, that doesn’t seem to be the case, as according to the Liverpool Echo, McCarthy is not being persuade by the Toffees this summer.
The 33-year-old has lost his spot as Southampton’s number one goalkeeping, starting the season as back up to regular shot stopper Gavin Bazunu.
McCarthy has caught the eye of other Premier League sides in this transfer window, with Luton Town interested, but talks collapsed, while the player’s old team Crystal Palace have also been mentioned as possibly making a move.
With Everton not in the race, it seems the door is left open should Roy Hodgson’s Palace decide to make a move.
According to Brazilian news outlet Noso Palestra, Norwich City are in talks with Palmeiras to sign Pedro Lima on a season-long loan deal.
The report states that the midfielder is expected to leave the Brazilian club and join the Canaries for the 2023/24 campaign.
It adds that Lima is set to travel to England later this week to undergo his medical and will join on a loan deal, with Norwich having no option to buy the player.
The 20-year-old has been with Palmeiras for all of his short football career and has a contract that runs until next summer.
Lima has yet to play in Brazil’s Serie A but did make his competitive debut for the club in the Copa Libertadores earlier this year. If Norwich were to get this deal for Lima over the line, he would join a squad that already has several options in the middle of the park.
