This will be the first East Anglian derby between the two sides since Town won 3-1 at the Nest in November 2020.

The Canaries play in the fourth tier, the league below Town, missing out on promotion last season to AFC Wimbledon.

Manager Sheehan said: "We're really excited for it. It's an important game too.

"It's a local derby and it's an opposition that are going to be gunning for us and we're going to be ready to meet that challenge."

Town midfielder Charlotte Fleming, who has captained the side for the first two games of the season in the win's over Oxford United and Hashtag United, added: "We have a big three game week.

"Norwich is the next test in that. Obviously it's a derby but the same attitude goes into it.

"We're there to win and we're there to prove a point, so that's exactly what we will do."

Town are set to be backed by a strong away following with tickets still available to purchase prior to the game this evening.
