Norwich City and Hull City get their 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign underway when they go head-to-head on Saturday.
The Tigers take a trip to Carrow Road where they have failed to win their last four visits and will be looking to end this poor run.
Norwich failed to secure an immediate return to the Premier League as they finished 13th in the Championship table after a truly forgettable campaign.
The Canaries, who were relegated from the English top flight in the 2021-22 campaign, picked up 62 points from their 46 matches, seven points adrift of the playoffs places.
Norwich City have shown promise in pre-season, where they finished unbeaten in their seven friendlies, claiming four wins and three draws.
Like the hosts, Hull City endured a disappointing Championship campaign last term as they finished 15th in the league table.
Liam Rosenior’s men picked up 58 points from 46 matches and will be playing in the second tier for the second consecutive season since their promotion from League One in 2021.
Like Saturday’s hosts, Hull City finished pre-season unbeaten, claiming four wins and four draws in their eight friendly matches.
