Nottingham Forest Preview – Can Hughton’s boys pick up first win in five?
Nottingham Forest have had a troubling season, but Chris Hughton has certainly steadied the ship since taking over. Ahead of this round of fixtures, the Reds find themselves in 17th place with 41 points to their name.
Nottingham Forest are not out of the woods yet when it comes to Championship relegation, as only nine points separate Forest and 22nd-place Rotherham United, who have four games in hand. Also, having failed to win any of their last four, Hughton’s boys could do with a win sooner rather than later.
Since back-to-back wins over Blackburn Rovers and Rotherham at the end of February, the Reds have taken just two points from the last 12 on offer. However, they did hold high-flying Reading to a 1-1 draw at the City Ground last time out. Can Hughton’s men shock the leaders in midweek?
Norwich City Preview – Champions elect to get the points at the City Ground?
Norwich City have swept aside all in their wake in recent weeks. The Canaries head to the City Ground having won eight Championship games in a row. City’s stunning form has fired them ten points clear at the summit.
Norwich have looked the real deal in the Championship this season. Daniel Farke’s boys have won a staggering 24 of 36 league matches, drawing seven and losing five of the other 12. Along the way, the Norfolk outfit have scored 53 goals and shipped just 26.
