On Boxing Day, Norwich City play host to Charlton Athletic in a 3pm Sky Bet Championship fixture.
Since losing at St Andrew's in Philippe Clement's first game as City boss, the Canaries have lost just once in the six matches since.
Most recently, Norwich had a heartbreaking 1-1 draw at then-third Preston North End, Will Keane equalising in the 96th minute.
Charlton, in their first season back in the Championship since 2020, have 27 points from their 21 games played.
