Norwich play Reading on Wednesday at Carrow Road, looking to make it nine straight wins in the Championship.

On the weekend, Norwich picked up a convincing 4-0 win at home to manageress QPR.

Reading come into this game on mixed form.

Jose Gomes’s Royals suffered a 3-1 defeat to inform and hard to beat Hull City. But before that, they picked up an impressive 2-1 win at home against play off chasers- Preston North End.

Reading will view any positive result in this game as massive, if they were to surprise Norwich on Wednesday- which is highly unlikely.

Recent form for both sides in the league;

Norwich- W/W/W/W/W/W

Reading- W/W/L/D/W/L
