Norwich – Derby

Norwich host Derby in what promises to be a crucial clash for both sides. The Canaries sit 12th with nine points from three wins and four losses, their goal difference balanced at 13‑13, while the visitors languish at the foot of the table in 22nd place with just four points after one win, one draw and five defeats, trailing 6‑13 on goal difference. Norwich will be looking to build on their three victories and tighten up a leaky defence, whereas Derby must snatch points to avoid a further slide toward the relegation zone. The head‑to‑head record this season has already seen Norwich enjoy the upper hand, and the home side will be eager to extend that advantage in front of their own fans.
