Norwich City's midweek win over Birmingham City was welcomed by Canaries fans as they rose from 17th to 8th in the space of just two games.
A win over strugglers Wycombe Wanderers this weekend could see them jump up into the play offs for the first time this season, currently only kept out of the top six by a single point.
With every game that passes, Wycombe come closer to earning their first point as a Championship club.
They did lose last time out, but by just a single goal to table-toppers Reading – a result that would have given Chairboys boss Gareth Ainsworth some encouragement.

Will this be the game they take home their first points of the campaign? It's a tough ask.

Saturday's game will be just the second time Norwich welcome Wycombe to Carrow Road, having done so first in their 5-2 League One encounter in August 2009.
This will be the first time the two teams face each other in the second tier of English football.

Norwich City vs Wycombe Wanderers Prediction
Norwich have hit a good run of form since the international break and will be aiming to break into the top six this weekend.
That objective could come at the expense of Wycombe, who remain pointless, having scored just one goal in their opening six league matches. It is hard to see Wycombe troubling Norwich in this encounter, and the home side should emerge victorious when all is said and done.
Prediction: Norwich City 2-0 Wycombe Wanderers
