Norwich City begin March with the visit of Sunderland in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday afternoon (KO 3pm).
The Canaries are now nine league games unbeaten at home, stretching back to early November.
Three wins and two draws in February saw them rise up to seventh in the table just three points off the play-off spots.
**The Opposition**
Sunderland have lost each of their last three games, all settled by a single-goal margin.
Their most recent win came on February 10 when they defeated Plymouth Argyle at the Stadium of Light.
That form has seen them slide to 10th in the Championship table but still within touching distance of the top six ahead of the run-in.
**One to Watch
Jobe Bellingham** With both Jack Clarke and defender Dan Ballard expected to miss the trip to Carrow Road, Jobe Bellingham is one that Sunderland will look to for inspiration. The former Birmingham midfielder signed for the Black Cats last summer and has bagged five league goals from an advanced midfield role.

**The Manager
Mike Dodds** After the dismissal of Michael Beale last month, Sunderland announced that Mike Dodds would be taking interim charge until the end of the campaign. It's not Dodds' first time in the hot seat as he also fulfilled the same role after the tenures of both Lee Johnson and Tony Mowbray. His one game in charge so far has ended in defeat. **Last Time Out** Norwich City suffered a 3-1 defeat earlier this season when they went to the Stadium of Light. The Canaries took the lead in the first half through on-loan striker Hwang Ui-Jo but Sunderland managed to get ahead before the break. Trai Hume and Dan Neil netted before the break before a late Jack Clarke penalty. Watch the highlights below.
