It is a battle of two of the most impressive teams in the championship this season while Norwich City welcomes the Leicester City to Carrow Road on Wednesday.
There seems to be little to separate the two teams at the moment and a closely combat meeting could be on the cards.
Norwich is enjoying a good start to the season and is among the first pacesetters because they are only three points from Preston North End management.
David Wagner’s men have only lost once in all competitions this season, saying four victories in six league games so far.
One of the victories occurred last weekend when they won a 1-0 home victory against Stoke City.
Jack Stacey’s goal just before half-time proved the difference, withstanding pressure from the home side in the second half to preserve the victory.
A crucial part of Norwich City’s early successes this season has been their solid record at Carrow Road, where they have won their last three games.
However, they only kept a first clean sheet at home in that win over Stoke City.
Leicester City have also made an impressive start to the season and are currently second in the table, just one point behind first.
They have won five of their last six matches and are making steady progress in the Carabao Cup too.
The Foxes travel to Carrow Road after a 4-1 victory at Southampton in their last league match.
They had four different scorers before the break, Jamie Vardy, Jason McAteer and Wilfred Ndidi, while Stephy Mavididi scored the fourth midway through the second half.
The victory at Southampton continues Leicester City’s good form this season.
Enzo Maresca’s men have won their five away games in all competitions, despite conceding a goal in two of their last three games in this series.
