Bristol City have had a rather torrid time since returning from the international break.
Fans of the Robins have seen their side drop off top spot, having not won in four games and drawing just two in that time. They only remain in the top six on goal difference.
They face the team directly below them this weekend, with Norwich going into this one on the back of picking up 10 points in their last four games, not losing once.
The Canaries know that a win will see them rise into the top six, while Bristol try to salvage what is left of their terrific early-season form.
Bristol City vs Norwich City Head-to-Head
The Robins have not defeated Norwich since February 2009 – some nine games ago.
Their last home victory over Saturday's opponents came in October 2008 – which was also the last time they kept a clean sheet against the Canaries on their own patch.
This will be the 15th consecutive league fixture between the pair, Bristol winning five of those and also losing five.
Historically, Norwich have the better record, beating their hosts on 34 occasions since their first meeting in 1909.
Bristol City have come out victorious on 20 occasions and have drawn 18 times.
