Canaries to beat Robins
With Norwich and Bristol City both sat in the Championship top four it is hardly surprising that their isn't much to pick apart in their recent form. Norwich have won their last five league games whilst Bristol City have won four and drawn one of their past five. We see one of those unbeaten streaks coming to an end here though and, sorry Bristol City fans, we're backing the hosts to come out on top. For one thing, Norwich have home advantage in this match but they've also dominated Bristol City in recent meetings having won each of the last three and haven't lost to them since 2009 – that was 11 meetings ago.
Both sides will score
We have already spoken about the fact both Norwich and Bristol City are in good form of late and, as such, we wouldn't be surprised to see them both score goals in this game. Bristol City have scored in every game they've played this season – in all competitions. Norwich meanwhile failed to score in their season opener but have found the net in every match since (nine games). Three of the last four head to head meetings have seen goals at both ends as well. With all that considered, it's fair to say both goalkeepers might need to ensure they're switched on throughout this game!

Battle of the Birds
Alright, alright, ‘The Battle of the Birds' probably won't catch on with Canaries and Robins hardly formidable but this game does promise to be an intriguing match with both sides keen to play football and getting results; it should be a great advert for the Championship and, if form continues as is, the winner of this game could prove crucial to who finishes higher come May.
Norwich's form might have been very strong of late but they've still got a fair few players missing from the squad. Dimitrios Giannoulis, Sam McCallum and Jacob Sorensen could be back in contention for this game but Adam Idah and Liam Gibbs remain amongst those who are missing.
Norwich Predicted lineup – Krul, Aarons, Hanley, Omobamidele, Byram, Nunez, McLean, Sargent, Cantwell, Ramsey, Pukki
Much like their hosts, Bristol City's good form is in spite of having a reasonable injury list. Tom Kalas and Ayman Benarous are both ruled out of this match with Timm Klose – formerly of Norwich – and Stefan Bajic face late tests.
Bristol City Predicted lineup – Bentley, Vyner, Atkinson, Naismith, Dasilva, Scott, James, Sykes, Weimann, Wells, Conway
