*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

The Norwich vs Ipswich odds indicate that this is going to be a very close match. The bookmakers aren't prepared to hang their hat on either team which means there is value to be had if you fancy a punt on a win one way or the other.

Ipswich come into the match as slight favourites. This will be thanks in large to their incredible run of form, which has seen them win nine of their last ten league matches following a blip after Christmas. The Tractor Boys have got into a habit of scoring late goals in recent weeks and their fans would love another one on Saturday afternoon.

Norwich shouldn't be discounted, though. Their home form has been remarkable since the turn of the year (seven wins in their last seven games at Carrow Road). They were poor last time out against Leicester City, however, which raises concerns about their ability to compete with the very best teams in the division, of which Ipswich are one.

You have to go back to 2006 for their last win at Carrow Road.

Norwich preview: Rotation in order for Canaries

Norwich City took a shock lead against Leicester City on Easter Monday after a well-worked corner, but they offered very little afterwards. Manager David Wagner could, therefore, make a couple of changes, but he is without Giannoulis and Hernandez due to injury.

Predicted lineup: Gunn (GK), Stacey, Sorensen, Gibson, McCallum, Gibbs, McLean, Sara, Barnes, Sainz, Sargent

Ipswich preview: All or nothing in store for uncompromising Tractor Boys

Ipswich enjoyed a last-gasp winner over Southampton last time out in a game of twist and turns and given their style of play, it would be foolish to expect anything different on Saturday. They are missing Burns, Donacien, Hirst and Williams due to injury.

Predicted lineup: Hladky (GK), Tuanzabe, Woolfenden, Burgess, Davis, Luongo, Morsy, Broadhead, Chaplin, Hutchinson, Moore

Player to watch: Leif Davis

Leif Davis has been the most creative players in the Ipswich team this season despite being a left back. His attacking runs and precise deliveries have been an issue for all teams.

Leading the assist charts

Daivs currently leads the way in the assists column in the Championship, an impressive feat for anyone never mind a left back. It has even led to calls for an England call-up, especially with Southgate's issues in the position.
