EFL Championship leaders Norwich City have a meeting against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground this midweek.
The Canaries have 79 points after the completion of 36 rounds of matches, a 10-point gap over second-placed Watford. They've won eight in a row, and look destined to be crowned champions.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, are stuck in the middle of the table, currently occupying 17th spot.
As things stand, they have a significant separation from the danger zone, but things can change very quickly in the EFL Championship. Forest can take nothing for granted.
