Marcelino Núñez scored the only goal of the game as Norwich City beat Ipswich Town 1-0 in the latest instalment of the East Anglian derby.
The Chilean fired home a first-half free-kick for Norwich who continue their excellent home form.
Jacob Sørensen's injury forced David Wagner into a lineup change, recently returned Shane Duffy slotting in beside Ben Gibson at the back.
Otherwise, it was as you were for the Norwich City starting XI over the last number of weeks.
While the game started at a lively tempo, chances of any great nature weren't forthcoming.
Borja Sainz had a half-volley fly over the crossbar early on while Cameron Burgess could only do the same with a header after an Ipswich corner-kick.
Gabriel Sara tested his range with a free-kick but his effort was again too high.
Norwich fans for calling for a red card when Axel Tuanzebe, as the last man, took down Josh Sargent after half an hour, but just a yellow was shown.
The breakthrough finally came when Núñez fired a free-kick in via the post just six minutes before the half.
After the break, the game continued in the same manner.
Sainz could have scored an incredible goal when he controlled a pass from Sam McCallum using his back before trying to flick beyond Vaclav Hladky but he didn't have the required power.
Sargent appeared to be through on goal in the 60th minute before being taken down by Sam Morsy, bizarrely no foul was given.
City's counter-attacking play was causing problems time and again, but the second goal didn't look likt it was coming. Hladky had to get down low to deny Sargent again.
The US international was in scintillating form, setting up Sainz immediately after but his effort was high and wide.
Ipswich finally created an opening when Leif Davis found Conor Chaplin, but he could only find the River End.
Angus Gunn made a timely save to deny Ali Al-Hamadi as the clock ticked into the final five minutes.
However, the Canaries continued to defend heroically to see out the game and secure another vital three points.
