Norwich City and Burnley go head-to-head at Carrow Road in round 30 of the EFL Championship on Saturday.
The Clarets will head into the weekend seeking to pick up a ninth consecutive league victory and extend their lead at the top of the league table.
Norwich City continued their hunt for a playoff place as they secured a comfortable 4-2 victory over Coventry City two Saturdays ago.
This followed an even more convincing 4-0 victory over Preston North End on January 14 which saw their five-game winless run come to an end.
With 42 points from 28 matches, Norwich City are currently seventh in the EFL Championship table, one point off the playoff places.
Meanwhile, Burnley set up an FA Cup second-leg tie with Ipswich Town as they held on for a 0-0 draw in their fourth-round clash last weekend.
Vincent Kompany's side have now turned their attention to the EFL Championship, where they are currently on a blistering eight-game winning streak and are on course to secure an immediate return to the Premier League.
With 62 points from 28 matches, Burnley are currently first in the league table with a five-point lead over second-placed Sheffield United.
