Norwich City will host Plymouth Argyle at Carrow Road on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 EFL Championship campaign.
The home side are enjoying a good run of form at the moment and remain in contention for the promotion playoffs. They beat Stoke City 3-0 just before the international break with Josh Sargent and Gabriel Sara finding the back of the net in the first half before Ashley Barnes joined the duo on the scoresheet at the hour mark.
Norwich City sit sixth in the league table with 61 points from 38 games and will be looking to add to that tally this weekend.
Plymouth Argyle, meanwhile, have hit a rough patch of late and currently find themselves just outside the drop zone. They were beaten 1-0 by Preston North End in their last match and could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target throughout the match.
The visitors sit 18th in the Championship standings with 41 points picked up so far. They are just two points above the drop zone and will be looking to widen that gap with a win on Friday.
