Norwich are in control of their own playoff destiny, and in the driving seat with three games to play, but it's not all confirmed just yet, and Hull are not going to stop pushing them. To keep their cushion, Norwich will be looking for a win on Saturday, when they welcome Bristol City to Carrow Road, a side in mid table, but currently on a good run of form.
Norwich Form GuideIn 6th, with 71 points, Norwich have three games to wrap things up. They are just one point behind West Brom in 5th, so could go above them, and have a six point gap to Hull in 7th. However, Hull do have a game in hand, win that, and the gap becomes much smaller at three points.
Norwich have three wins from their last five games, along with one defeat and one draw. They come here on the back of a win last weekend, a 1-0 away success against Preston. Before that, they drew 2-2 away at Sheffield Wednesday, and won 1-0 in a big derby clash at home to automatic promotion chasing Ipswich.
Bristol City Form GuideBristol City effectively have nothing to play for right now, but we could actually be seeing some of their better football of the season. They are in 12th position, and can only really get a place higher or drop one lower, given just three games remain in the season.
They arrive here on a five game unbeaten run, with three wins and two draws in that. They drew 1-1 at home to Huddersfield last weekend, while their other draw was a 0-0 tie away at Sunderland. But wins over Blackburn 5-0, Plymouth 1-0 and Leicester 1-0 have all shown what this team is capable of producing.
Match PredictionA big test for Norwich, three points are needed and the opposition comes here playing well. But I will take Norwich to past the test, they are my tip to win this game, and go closer to securing their playoff position.
