Another important game at Carrow Road on Saturday as Norwich welcome Bristol City. The Canaries will feel that a playoff spot is now theirs and another win will make it mathematically so. They have been excellent on their own patch this season, especially when they have needed to be in the second half of the season to make up for their shortcomings when they are on the road. They beat Ipswich 1-0 in their most recent home game, a win that will have given them another confidence boost in a game that their fans will have been desperate to pick up the points in, against one of their biggest rivals. The 5th of November was the last time that Norwich lost here, a run of 13 games in the league. 

Bristol City are in the top half and given there has been little but pride to play for for a while now, it is to their credit that they have continued to pick up points. Generally that has been at Ashton Gate though, their record on the road is not close to as good. A 1-0 win at Plymouth on Easter Monday was only their third away league win since taking three points at Rotherham in early October. They had won three of the first five on their travels this season before struggling. They have kept things tight away from home, conceding 25 but have struggled to score enough to take advantage.
