Norwich City play host to Bristol City at Carrow Road in round 15 of the EFL Championship on Saturday. The Canaries are unbeaten in their last seven home games against Liam Manning’s men since February 2009 and will be looking to extend this impressive 15-year streak.
Norwich City suffered consecutive defeats for the first time since December 2023 as they were beaten 2-0 by Sheffield Wednesday at the Hillsborough Stadium on Tuesday.
This followed a 2-1 defeat against Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium on November 2, a result which saw their seven-game unbeaten run come to an end.
After two consecutive defeats on the road, Norwich City now return to Carrow Road, where they are unbeaten in their last 24 competitive matches since November 2023.
Bristol City, meanwhile, were left spitting feathers last time out as they fell to a 2-1 loss against Sheffield United after conceding twice in the final 12 minutes of the game, including a 98th-minute winner from Harrison Burrows.
Before that, Manning’s men were on an eight-game unbeaten run, claiming three wins and five draws since a 3-0 loss to Blackburn Rovers on September 14.
With 19 points from 14 matches, Bristol City are currently 11th in the Championship table, one point and one place above Saturday’s hosts.
