Norwich City head to Southampton on Wednesday (19:45 GMT) knowing a win could boost their chances of making a late push for the Championship play-offs.

Head coach Philippe Clement has been speaking to the media before the game and here are some of the key points:

  • Defender Ben Chrisene is "a bit better" after limping off against Preston. Clement says it's not a 'long-term' hamstring injury.
  • Northern Ireland international Ruairi McConville will be assessed on Wednesday. The defender has missed the last two games with a knee problem.
  • Goalkeeper Daniel Grimshaw is still out and will definitely miss the match.
  • Clement said his team struggled with defending set-pieces in the win against Preston, but he said it is "not a major issue".
  • On Southampton: "They still have the parachute payments and their ambition is to go up directly. It's a need for them to be in the play-offs."
  • Clement said he nearly signed as a player for Southampton and was a big fan of Saints legend Matthew Le Tissier.
