THE PREDICTION
Despite exiting the FA Cup last weekend at the hands of Barnsley, Norwich sit top of the Championship and in good form having won their last three league games. In contrast their opponents Middlesbrough tasted defeat in midweek against Rotherham, their second Championship loss in succession. Neil Warnock’s side are suffering due to injuries within their backline and could well be without both central defender Dael Fry and full back Anfernee Dijksteel for their trip to Carrow Road. The league leaders should be set to take advantage of this, with their firepower in midfield and attack likely to prove too strong for Boro to keep out, so expect a Norwich victory here.
