The first East Anglian Derby at Carrow Road since February 2019 takes place on Saturday afternoon (KO 12.30pm).

The Canaries will be hoping to bounce back to winning ways immediately after suffering a 3-1 defeat to Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Easter Monday. A Gabriel Sara goal put Norwich in front in the first half but sustained periods of pressure allowed the Foxes to turn it around with Jamie Vardy securing the three points for them in injury time. **The Opposition** Ipswich come into this fixture narrowly ahead of Leeds United and Leicester City in the fight for automatic promotion. They've won nine of their last 10 fixtures, the only defeat coming in dramatic fashion away at the Cardiff City Stadium. **One to Watch
Omari Hutchinson** Jamaican international Omari Hutchinson joined Ipswich on loan from Chelsea for the season. He's played in 38 league games so far, scoring seven goals and registering six assists. He was also named as the Championship player of the month for February 2024.
**The Manager
Kieran McKenna** Having retired early from playing at 22, Kieran McKenna went into coaching, initially with Tottenham Hotspur where he had been in their Academy. He later joined Manchester United as Under-18s head coach before working his way up to the first-team coaching staff under Jose Mourinho. He joined Ipswich in December 2021, guiding them to League One promotion last season. **Last Time Out** The points were shared when the two sides met at Portman Road in December. Ipswich started on the front foot and got ahead through Nathan Broadhead. Jonathan Rowe scored either side of half-time to put the Canaries in the lead. Again, the hosts prodded for an equaliser which eventually arrived via Wes Burns. Watch the highlights below.
