David Moyes will delay his team selection until the very last minute tonight (Wed) for the match against Norwich at the London Stadium.

We understand several players are carrying knocks and that covid may still be affecting some as we head into a game which could see us go back into the top four above Arsenal.

We have never revealed details of the team for games ahead of the match – not even by a few minutes – and we are making no exception today.

We have said in the past that David Moyes has an over obsession with secrecy in many areas but we understand perfectly why he wants to keep team selections secret and we feel it is entirely wrong for details to be released however close to the game.

We sincerely hope that nothing escapes into the public arena before the official announcement and would understand the manager’s anger if it did as it is of no help to the team’s chances of victory at all.

Norwich come into the game on the back of a series of five defeats and have failed to win a Premier League game since November.
