Norwich City and Manchester United lock horns at Carrow Road on the back of respective draws against AFC Bournemouth and Liverpool.

However, the likelihood of honours ending even in this match could be doubtful - there has been only only draw in their past 16 Premier League encounters.

Team news

Daniel Farke has no fresh injury concerns for Norwich ahead of Sunday's contest at Carrow Road.

Mario Vrancic and Ralf Fahrmann (both groin) missed last weekend's 0-0 draw at AFC Bournemouth, but Farke confirms neither are in contention this weekend. They join long-term absentees Grant Hanley (groin), Timm Klose (knee) and Christoph Zimmermann (foot) on the sidelines.

Jesse Lingard returned from injury in Manchester United's UEFA Europa League victory over Partizan Belgrade on Thursday. Goalkeeper David De Gea (muscle) missed that match but is expected to be available.

Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba (ankle), Luke Shaw (hamstring) and Axel Tuanzebe (hip) are all doubts, while Eric Bailly (knee) is a long-term absentee.

Did you know?

Man Utd have a great record at Carrow Road, winning six of their last eight Premier League matches there.

Norwich are looking to become the first promoted side to win a Premier League match against both Manchester clubs in the same season since Wolverhampton Wanderers and Portsmouth did so in 2003/04.

If Man Utd score, they will become the first team in Premier League history to score 2,000 goals in the competition.

United have lost their last two Premier League matches against promoted sides, losing to Wolves and Cardiff City last season and are looking to make it a hat-trick for the first time since November 1960.
