The action continues in round 44 of the EFL Championship as Norwich City play host to Bristol City at Carrow Road on Saturday.
Both sides have hit their stride at the business end of the season and we anticipate an action-packed contest as they look to end the campaign on a high.

With 71 points from 43 matches, Norwich City are currently sixth in the EFL Championship table, six points above seventh-placed Hull City just outside the playoff spot.
Elsewhere, Nahki Wells came up clutch for Bristol City last time out as he converted his penalty in the 11th minute of stoppage time to hand the Robins a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town.
Liam Manning’s men have now gone five consecutive matches without defeat, claiming three wins and two draws since a 2-0 loss against West Bromwich Albion on March 16.
