Norwich City take on West Bromwich Albion in the 39th round of games in the EFL Championship on Saturday. The two sides are in opposite halves of the points table.
Johannes Thorup's Norwich are fresh off a 2-1 loss at Bristol City just before the international break. The hosts took a 2-0 lead inside 23 minutes, thanks to Mark Sykes and Nahki Wells strikes.
Bristol pulled one back through Borja Sainz eight minutes from time but couldn't conjure an equalizer as the Canaries held on to the three points. Following a fourth straight winless outing - including consecutive losses - Thorup's side are 13th in the standings, with 49 points from 38 games, winning 12.
Meanwhile, Tony Mowbray's West Brom are coming off a 1-1 home draw with Hull City two weeks ago. After a goalless first half at The Hawthorns, Issac Price broke the deadlock for the hosts midway through the second period, only for Abu Kamara to bag Hull's equalizer 11 minutes from time.
The share of the spoils - their second in succession - the Baggies remain sixth in the points table, with 57 points from 38 games, winning 13.
