Norwich sit in the lower half of the English Championship table. In 35 matches this season they have collected 45 points. Their gap from the relegation zone stands at ten points. It is a fairly solid cushion for now, but the gap to sixth place is currently 12 points. Therefore, Norwich have a comfortable buffer and will most likely remain in the Championship, though fighting for the play-off spots will be difficult.
