Leicester
Leicester faces significant challenges in the championship, which have not only led the "Foxes" to relinquish the top spot but also placed them in third position after the last round. It's time for them to wake up if they do not wish to participate in the playoffs come summer. Last Friday, Leicester played an away match against Bristol City and instead of reclaiming the top spot, suffered a minimal 0-1 defeat. This loss marked the third in their last five matches under Enzo Maresca's leadership. Regarding their home statistics, Leicester has lost their last two home matches, with a total of 13 victories and 4 defeats in 18 matches overall.
Norwich
The "Canaries" are having an excellent season and rightfully contend for a playoff spot. Currently, Norwich occupies the sixth position in the Championship table, leading their direct competitors Coventry and Preston by four and five points respectively. In the previous round, Norwich hosted Plymouth and secured a 2-1 victory. David Wagner's team conceded early in the 10th minute but managed to equalize in the second half. This victory marked Norwich's third consecutive win and fourth in the last five matches. However, Norwich has faced challenges away from home, with their recent win breaking a five-match winless streak.
