Welcome to the meeting of the miserable.

Both sides struggling to win games and win over fans.

Norwich have lost all their home matches so far this season; Leicester only one win in 10.

The Canaries made a statement this week telling fans not to abuse players or their relatives following an incident after their game with Hull City, and it has annoyed some fans even more.

The fan response to what happens on the pitch maybe as interesting as the game itself.

Whichever way you look at it this is a huge game for the two men in the dugouts this afternoon, both of whom only took charge in the summer.

Liam Manning's time at his hometown club has been pretty disastrous so far and regardless of their result today they'll spend the next fortnight in the relegation zone.

Norwich have failed to win any of their past 10 league games and, even more damningly, have lost all six of their home matches so far this season.

Marti Cifuentes took over at Leicester in July hoping to lead them to an immediate return to the Premier League.

It's not shaping up like that so far though, with the Foxes now winless in their past nine games after Luke Ayling's late equaliser for Middlesbrough on Tuesday.

A win either way today could spell the end of a short tenure for the manager on the losing side.

Ipswich will seek to keep building momentum as they head to Swansea.

Kieran McKenna's men began today 10th and within three points of the play-off places, with a game in hand, after a 1-1 draw at home to Watford on Tuesday, which will perhaps be best remembered for an argument between Town teammates Jaden Philogene and Azor Matusiwa.

It made it seven points from their past three games, including a 4-1 win at QPR in their most recent away game last Saturday, though it extended their streak without a clean sheet on the road to 22 games.

The Swans are three points back in 17th and have been consistently inconsistent, failing to record consecutive results of any kind in their 14 games so far this season.

They fell to a battling 2-1 defeat at Preston on Wednesday having grabbed a point at Charlton last Saturday but won their most recent home game against Norwich 2-1.

Back in April, Wrexham beat Charlton Athletic here on their home patch to secure automatic promotion. The Addicks were soon to join them courtesy of a play-off win at Wembley.

Fast forward a few months, the Championship newbies meet again and it is fair to say both are impressing as they find their feet in the second tier.

Wrexham have suffered just one loss in their last 8 league games whilst the visitors currently sit in the play-off positions courtesy of a steady five-match unbeaten streak.

Recent form suggests we are in for a real Championship battle. Recent rivals backed by brilliant fan bases keen to end this busy block of fixtures with victory before the international break. Plus, the sun is out…the perfect day for it!

Charlton's last league win against Wrexham came in the form of a narrow 1-0 victory in February 1982.

Since then, the north Wales side have won four of their eight meetings, with the other four ending all square.

Former Cardiff City youth player Nathan Jones takes his Addicks side to the SToK Cae Ras Stadium on a run of five games unbeaten, sitting sixth in the Championship table.

The Red Dragons' form has picked up recently, with eight of their 18 points won in their past four matches.

Jones irked Wrexham's fans when both sides were in League One last season by referring to the club as a "circus", something he later rowed back on but nonetheless gives an extra bit of needle to this meeting between the two promoted sides.

• Middlesbrough v Birmingham City
• Norwich City v Leicester City
• Sheffield United v Queens Park Rangers
• Southampton v Sheffield Wednesday
• Stoke City v Coventry City
• Swansea City v Ipswich Town
• West Bromwich Albion v Oxford United
• Wrexham v Charlton Athletic

Preston and Millwall shared the points which took North End into the top-three, but Hull City's incredible comeback to beat Pompey 3-2 has them above the Lions and into fifth.

Derby are up to ninth, two points off the play-off places, after a fifth straight victory at Blackburn, who stay 18th, two places and two points ahead of Portsmouth, with the bottom four all in action shortly.

Derby County

Player of the match Carlton Morris told Sky Sports:

"It's all going rather well at the moment. (After a slow start) we never lost focus and faith in what this squad is capable of. Bring on the next game after the break."

After a third header from a corner in as many games: "I'm just grateful to the boys for how much quality they are delivering at the moment."

On Derby's climb up the table: "We never panicked. We started the season and the performances were there, but the results weren't, we never panicked, you're seeing it come to fruition, we're on a roll at the minute, long may it continue."

Portsmouth leave the game with no points and a lot of soul searching to do.

John Mousinho has a lot of thinking to do.

The Tigers claw their way back into the play-off spots.

A tale of two halves this.

The first one was action-packed and the second one... was not.

No matter for the home fans though as Joe Gelhardt's clipped finish with 11 minutes to go sees them take the points.

They go back up to fifth.

Pompey are now winless in six and stay 20th.

Pompey GOALKEEPER Joe Bursik heads over what must be their final chance of the match!

Josh Murphy tries to stand up a deep inswinger for Colby Bishop but the Pompey striker can't get up high enough and the ball goes out of play.

Suspect that will be that as the home goalkeeper Ivor Pandur is booked for timewasting.

As a Rovers fan I am proud of the performance. I think Derby will be up there this season, once Eustace properly gets them playing.

If Blackburn can play the way they did in the second half every week, they will be fine.

It is a disappointing result.

Josh Murphy's had a good game down the Pompey left but with four minutes of time added on I'm not sure taking a shot on from 30+ yards out is wise.

It goes well wide and the Tigers are in no rush to take this goal kick.

Zac Swanson can't make a clean contact after a long throw into the middle lands at his feet.

Pompey pushing in the final few moments of time added on.

For the first time in five years, Derby have won five straight Championship games.

There was mayhem at the end as Makhtar Gueye pounced on a poor clearance from Jacob widell-Zetterstrom, only to be crowded out in the box before Lars-Jorgen Salvesen was sprung clear at the other end to dink over Aynsley Pears only for his effort to be hacked off the line with the final act of a pulsating match.

John Eustace ensured a happy return to Ewood Park, and back-to-back wins against his former employers, thanks to brilliant first-half headers from Carlton Morris, who has six goals in his past four games, and Patrick Agyemang.

Yuki Ohashi thumped home a penalty after a foul on him in the box from former Rover Dion Sanderson with 24 minutes remaining but despite piling on late pressure Blackburn's three-match winning run is over on the day they mark the club's 150th anniversary.

It's been 10 years and six defeats since Derby picked up a point at Ewood, today they take all three and go into the international break within striking distance of the play-off spots.

That is that and neither team does enough to move into the automatic promotion places ahead of Stoke's meeting with Coventry.

Preston took the lead through Michael Smith in the first half before Daniel Iversen's comical slip gifted Mihailo Ivanovic an equaliser.

Both teams had chances to find the winner in the second half but ultimately it ends level at The Den.

A point apiece feels fair.

Lars-Jorgen Salvesen has only been on two minutes but has his name taken after having a little nibble at Kristi Montgomery as Blackburn seek to get it forward urgently.

Second remain...

SUPERB defending from Charlie Hughes as Josh Murphy whips in another dangerous cross from the left for the away side.

It has been a tense time for Derby fans in the last few minutes. The corners are beginning to rack up for Rovers.

John Eustace is trying to urge his team to push forward and gain control of the ball.
