Port Vale could give a start to Michael Husbands ahead of Akpo Sodje while Colin Miles, Stefan Moore and Nathan Lowndes are all winning their battles to be fit for the clash.

New Norwich boss Peter Grant will take no risks on Darren Huckerby, who has a back injury, although he hopes to name an unchanged squad on Tuesday.

Should Huckerby miss out then youngster Robert Eagle could come into contention for the trip to Vale Park.

Robert Eagle is superb ..he may look like a girl with his long blonde hair but he has a big future ahead of him

Grant has said that if your good enough ..your old enough

Worthington didnt like using the youngsters ..apprently they werent ready ...so far in this cup we have used our youth and they have beaten a 1st team Torquay and a 1st team Rotherham ...not bad
