Norwich City return to Carrow Road at the weekend in the midst of somewhat of an improved run in what has been a relatively disappointing start to the Championship season on the whole under David Wagner.
Setting out to fight for a top-six spot this term, the Canaries currently occupy 10th spot with 31 points from their opening 22 outings, having picked up nine wins and suffered nine defeats, while only basement side Rotherham United have conceded more than the 39 goals that the Norfolk outfit have shipped.
Pressure was certainly growing around Carrow Road in early November, as a run of six matches which produced just a single point left them on just 17 points from 15 games, but they have certainly improved their fortunes since, adding 14 points to their tally in the last seven attempts, while they now head into the halfway point of the season in a four-game unbeaten streak.
After triumphing away at Bristol City and settling for an underwhelming stalemate at home to Preston North End, the Canaries returned to winning ways at home to strugglers Sheffield Wednesday last week, thanks to goals from Borja Sainz, Ashley Barnes and Jon Rowe, before most recently taking a creditable point from a 2-2 draw with second-placed rivals Ipswich Town away at Portman Road on Saturday, as Rowe scored a brace to turn the game on its head, only for Wes Burns to level the scores on the hour mark.
Having certainly boosted their own playoff hopes in recent weeks with their upturn in form, albeit now trailing sixth-placed Hull City by five points, Norwich City will set out to extend their unbeaten streak to five games at the weekend with a return to winning ways at Carrow Road at the start of a busy festive period which could see them climb closer to the top six.
