• Norwich have won three of their last five home games against Bristol City

• Bristol City are on a four-game winless sequence

• Recommended bet: Norwich to win

Norwich are the only team in the Championship with a 100 per-cent losing home record and will be desperate to cheer up their supporters when taking on Bristol City at Carrow Road.

The Canaries used to enjoy playing at their Norfolk base, but the atmosphere has changed over recent months.

Liam Manning’s side lost 1-0 to West Brom in their most recent home game and were beaten 3-1 at bitter rivals Ipswich in their last match before the break.

It is now five games without a win for Manning’s men, but they are facing a Bristol City side who are also going through a sticky patch.

The Robins rose to third after a 3-0 victory at Sheffield Wednesday on matchday five, but they have gone four games without a win and are anxious to atone for a 2-1 loss at home to QPR a fortnight ago.

Team news

Ben Chrisene, Mathias Kvistgaarden and Shane Duffy have been back out on the grass but will have to wait a little longer for a return to the squad.

Jose Cordoba (hamstring) was injured whilst on international duty with Panama and faces a month on the sidelines. The centre-back joins Gabriel Forsyth, Forson Amankwah and Papa Diallo in the treatment room.

The visitors are likely to be without key midfielder Jason Knight, who was unavailable for Ireland’s October World Cup qualifiers.

Zak Vyner may have to continue as a makeshift midfielder but Max Bird, Josh Stokes, Joe Williams, Adam Randell, Cameron Pring and Luke McNally are expected to stay on the sidelines.

The stats

Norwich have gone five games without winning.

The Canaries have lost their last four home league fixtures.

Norwich have scored in nine of their last 10 Championship matches.

Six of Norwich’s last seven home games have featured at least three goals.

Bristol City have failed to score in two of their last three away fixtures.

Prediction

The break came at just the right time for Norwich, who can lift the spirits of home fans by defeating Bristol City in a battle between out-of-form teams.

Norwich’s poor start to the season has been influenced by fitness issues for captain Kenny McLean, who has started just five of their nine league matches.

However, McLean and summer signing Pelle Mattsson have forged a promising midfield partnership in recent weeks and their axis could be key to getting the better of Bristol City, who are dealing with a raft of injuries in the centre of the park.

Bristol City started the season impressively, but they looked disjointed in the recent 2-1 loss at home to QPR and may struggle to avoid a first away league loss of the campaign.
