MATCH PREVIEW:
Newcastle United come into this one on the back of a 2-0 win over Burton in their last match with Murphy and Joelinton finding the back of the net.
The Magpies have been decent in pre-season but would look to round off the campaign with successive wins as they head into the new season.
They are undefeated in their last two coming into this one. Hence, they have the confidence to continue the good form.
On the other hand, newly promoted Norwich have been on fire in pre-season winning all their matches.
In their last match, they beat Gillingham 5-0 as Idah scored a brace followed by goals from Lees-Melou, Rupp and Sorensen.
The Canaries are in supreme form and eye a strong start to the season, but will need to round off their fantastic pre-season with another top performance against an opponent they will face in the Premier League soon.
Norwich begins their campaign against Liverpool next week.
Both sides last met in the Premier League in February 2020 where it ended 0-0.
The H2H has been mighty close with Newcastle leading it 5-4 with 4 draws also taking place.
Line-ups
Newcastle:
Woodman, Krafth, Fernandez, Lascelles, Clark, Lewis, Hayden, Shelvey, Longstaff, Fraser and Joelinton

Prediction: Newcastle 1-2 Norwich
