Norwich City will face Cardiff City at Carrow Road on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side have had their struggles in the league this season but continue their push for the promotion playoffs. They picked up a 4-2 win over Watford last time out, taking a two-goal lead and squandering it before Gabriel Sara and Christian Fassnacht restored the Canaries' two-goal cushion late in the game.
Norwich sit seventh in the league table with 48 points from 32 games and will be looking to continue their good run of form this weekend.
Cardiff City, meanwhile, have endured a difficult run of results of late and currently find themselves in the bottom half of the pile. They were beaten 2-0 by West Bromwich Albion in their game on Tuesday failing to register a shot on target in the opposition box throughout the match as they fell to a sixth consecutive winless outing against the Baggies.
The visitors sit 14th in the league standings with 40 points from 31 matches and will be hopeful of adding to that tally here.
