We head to Leicester on Easter Monday, who have recently been knocked off the top perch by our East Anglian neighbours and are currently on a run of 1 win in their last 6 league games. After coming from behind in Good Friday I’m sure DW will be hoping for a better performance and 3 points.

Norwich City travel to the King Power Stadium on Monday, April 1, to face Leicester City in the Sky Bet Championship (KO 12.30pm).

It's the second game in four days for the Canaries, who returned after the international break with a Good Friday win at home to Plymouth Argyle. Norwich will be hoping to continue their push for a top-six spot ahead of the end of season play-offs.

The Opposition
Prior to February, Leicester City had been the dominant team in the Championship this season. Across their opening 14 games, they won 13 and lost just once, cementing their place in top spot. Since then, however, a difficult run in February and March has seen them dragged back into a title battle. They lost to Bristol City on Friday afternoon.

One to Watch
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall
One of the standout players of the league season, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been key to Leciester's success this year. The central midfielder has scored 10 league goals, assisting 12, and regularly dictates the pace of their game alongside Harry Winks.

The Manager
Enzo Maresca
A midfielder by trade, Enzo Maresca played for a host of clubs across Europe, including a stint with West Bromwich Albion between 1998 and 2000. He began his coaching career with Ascoli before joining Manchester City's development sides. A brief stint at Parma as head coach followed before he returned to City as one of Pep Guardiola's assistants. He joined Leicester City in June 2023 following their relegation from the Premier League.

Positive vibes!!!

ON THE BALL CITY!!!

If Leicester City want to make one of the automatic spots, they have to rediscover the form they enjoyed earlier in the season. I fear that is motivation enough for them to give us a hard time today. I would take a draw before kick off

We just want their blip to last one game longer :)

My concern is the quality of their attack against our defence, especially away from home. We've taken 15 points from the last 5 home games but only 5 points from the last 5 away games (1 win, 2 losses, 2 draws). With the pace of Sargent and Sainz we have a good counterattacking threat, so I hope we don't commit too many players forward and leave the defence exposed.
 
I'm guessing Duffy will be back in defence. That should help a little bit without meaning to disparage Sorenson. Duffy is a seasoned defender, Lungi is a stop gap.
 
Mixed feelings for me today. Of course I want us to win every game. But, I don't think we're ready to go back up yet. So I'd like Leicester and Leeds to take the auto promotion spaces and us knock the Binners out of the play offs. So I'll take a draw
 
Pretty sure we have won more games with McLean or Sorensen stop gapping than with Duffy
