Howson still banned for City
Norwich midfielder Jonny Howson serves the second of a three-match suspension when Brentford visit Carrow Road.
The former Leeds captain was shown a straight red card in the win at Bournemouth and then lost his appeal, which meant he missed the home success over Cardiff.
Defender Ryan Bennett again sits out after sustaining a grade one hamstring tear while City will also check on the fitness of midfielder Alex Tettey.
The Norway international was absent for the visit of the Bluebirds due to a groin injury.
Brentford can add Chris Long to their squad after signing the young striker on loan from Everton.
They have injury doubts over midfielder Alan Judge, who has a knee problem, recent signing Lewis Macleod, whose debut has been delayed by a hamstring strain, and forward Nick Proschwitz (ankle).
Right-back Alan McCormack is edging closer to a return following an ankle injury but is unlikely to be risked just yet and striker Scott Hogan remains on the sidelines as he recovers from cruciate ligament damage.
Boss Mark Warburton could stick with the same starting XI which snatched a 1-0 win at Brighton last weekend.
