The day is almost upon us...our unbeaten streak in the derby games could be coming to an end...BUT anything can happen in the derby so lets hope we can drag the record on for a bit longer!
The East Anglian derby takes place this weekend with Norwich City travelling south to Ipswich Town in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday (KO 12.30pm).
Norwich returned to winning ways on Wednesday, beating Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 at Carrow Road thanks to goals from Borja Sainz, Ashley Barnes and Jonathan Rowe. I for one was delighted with the inclusion of Sainz for his first start and he put in a performance that begged the question, why have we had to wait so long for him to start? After having such an impact on his first start it will be interesting to see whether Wagner sticks with him or opts for the more experienced Hernandez, I personally would keep the same team as started the game.
The Opposition
Ipswich Town have enjoyed a strong return to the Sky Bet Championship this season, and currently find themselves in the automatic promotion spots.
Their last outing was a 2-1 win against Watford in midweek, coming from a goal behind at Vicarage Road.
One to Watch
Conor Chaplin
Formerly of Portsmouth, Conor Chaplin joined Ipswich Town in 2021 and has scored 48 goals in 120 games for the club since. He scored 26 in League One as Ipswich got promoted last year and has got eight in the Championship in this campaign.
Head coach
Kieran McKenna
After injury cut his career short at Tottenham Hotspur, Kieran McKenna turned his hand to coaching. He then joined Manchester United as an Under-18s coach and eventually worked his way to the first-team set-up under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He joined Ipswich in December 2021.
Positive vibes!!!
ON THE BALL CITY!!!
NEVER MIND THE DANGER!!!
