Welcome to our LIVE coverage of Norwich City’s trip to the Britannia Stadium to face Stoke City.

Walters is fouled by behind by Whitbread and Stoke have a free-kick.

Holt pulls off at the back post and gets his head on the ball. Begovic makes a comfortable catch. That is their first attempt on target.

Ethertington swings in a corner which is cleared by the Norwich defence before Robert Huth skies one over.

Lambert will be happy with the way his side have started here.

Shotton will drop in at right-back, while Pennant will play on the wing.

Stoke substitution as Andy Wilkinson is replaced by Jermaine Pennant.

Good approach play from Stoke as Walters holds up the ball before feeding Dean Whitehead whose low shot is held by Ruddy.

Walters heads the ball on but John Ruddy gathers. No quality in this game so far. It's very windy out there and that looks to be having an impact.

STAT: Norwich have scored more headed goals than any other Premier League club (14).

Late challenge by Jonathan Howson on Whelan and the new signing is given a yellow card. It was a rash tackle.

Begovic gathers the ball comfortably.

Glenn Whelan fouls Holt and Norwich have the chance to swing a free-kick into the area.

STAT: There has been a red card in four of the last seven league meetings between Stoke and Norwich.

Matthew Etherington crosses the ball into Walters who is in an offside position.

It's been a fairly tame start here. More action on its way hopefully.

Walters is penalised for backing into Zak Whitbread.

Elliot Bennett does well to beat his man down the right but his cross is well overhit.

Bradley Johnson's cross is aimed for Holt but Marc Wilson gets a head on the ball and it's cleared away.

Walters unleashes a powerful effort that is parried and then gathered by John Ruddy.

Norwich enjoying some possession in their own half. No chances yet.
