Championship leaders Norwich City will look to maintain their lead at the top of the standings when they host promotion play-off spot chasers Bristol City at Carrow Road. Norwich have 50 points from 24 matches and are top of the Championship standings with their nearest challengers Swansea City four points behind. Bristol City have 36 points from 23 matches and are four points behind the top-six sides after Sunday matches.
Norwich picked up a 2-1 win over ten-man Cardiff City to make it two wins in a row. After a brief lull of just one point in two matches, the Canaries are back in form as they look to build momentum towards their title run. The 2-1 score remains a lucky charm for Norwich who have seen five of their last seven Championship wins come by the same scoreline. Home form has been a vital part of Norwich’s season so far with the Canaries unbeaten here since losing to Derby in early October 2020. They won seven and drew three of their next ten Championship home matches and will look to extend that run.
Bristol City won 2-0 against Preston to pick up their second win in three matches after losing steam with three losses in a row. Their last ten Championship matches have now produced a win/loss result with four wins and six losses – so expect this match also to produce a winner. Improving the scoring rate could be the first factor in their improvement as they have scored just nine goals in their last ten Championship matches. Speaking of improvement, even their away form needs a push, as City have lost their last three Championship away matches scoring just one goal in total.
