Chris Hughton makes eight changes for Norwich City's FA Cup third-round trip to Peterborough United, with Simeon Jackson, Simon Lappin and Bradley Johnson among those recalled.

Chris Hughton has opted to ring the changes for Norwich City's FA Cup third-round tie at Peterborough United this afternoon.

The Canaries boss has made no fewer than eight alterations, with Russell Martin, Robert Snodgrass and Ryan Bennett the trio to retain their starting berths.

With Grant Holt and Steve Morison both missing, Simeon Jackon is handed the job of leading the Norwich forward line.

Midfielder Simon Lappin makes his first start since August and will play alongside Danny Fox and Bradley Johnson, who is recalled after suspension.

Hosts Peterborough have won four out of their last five Championship matches, but are without in-form striker Dwight Gayle for the East Anglia derby.

George Boyd is moved up front and will be hoping for attacking support from captain Tommy Rowe, who scored a late winner in Posh's victory over Barnsley last time out.

Norwich: Rudd; R Bennett, Martin, Barnett, Tierney; Snodgrass, Johnson, Fox, E Bennett; Lappin, Jackson

Peterborough: Olejnik; Knight-Percival; Brisley, Little, Alcock; Swanson, Bostwick, Ferdinand, Newell, Rowe; Boyd
