Norwich preview: Unbeaten in last three
The Canaries haven't lost a game since they went down 1-0 at Swansea in mid-September, beating Watford and Derby before their 1-1 draw at home to Leeds last time out.
That draw on Tuesday night took Norwich onto 12 points for the season but saw them slip behind Hull who managed to win on that same evening.
Norwich could be without a number of players for Saturday's clash with Hull City as Jose Cordoba, Liam Gibbs, Onel Hernandez, Jakob Sorensen, Christian Fassnacht and Ashley Barnes all have injuries.
Predicted lineup: Gunn (GK), Duffy, Cordoba, Doyle, Fisher, McLean, Ben Slimane, Nunez, Sargent, Sainz & Crnac

Player to watch: Borja Sainz
Borja Sainz only scored six league goals in 35 appearances in the Championship for Norwich last season but the Spanish striker has already equalled that tally in his opening eight games of the 2024/25 campaign.
Sainz, who left his homeland of Spain to join Turkish side Giresunspor in 2022, scored nine times in 32 starts which prompted Norwich to take a gamble on the young forward.
Norwich's Spanish star has been in great form
The former Alaves striker took his time to settle into life in England but this season he is paying Norwich back with some fantastic displays and plenty of goals.
