Norwich City will host Sunderland at Carrow Road on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 EFL Championship campaign. The home side have struggled for results in recent games and are rapidly running out of time to secure a playoff spot as they sit eight points behind the top six with six games left to play.
They suffered a disappointing 2-1 defeat against last-placed Plymouth Argyle in their last match, finding themselves two goals down at the break before Josh Sargent pulled one back for the Canaries in the second half.
Sunderland, meanwhile, are playing well at the moment and have all but confirmed a spot in the playoffs with automatic promotion also attainable at this stage of the season. They picked up a narrow and hard-fought 1-0 win over West Bromwich Albion in their last match, with fullback Trai Hume scoring for a second game running to secure maximum points for the Black Cats on the road.

The visitors sit fourth in the Championship with 75 points and will be looking to close out the regular season in strong fashion.
