Norwich City head to Leeds United in the Championship on Wednesday (19.45 GMT).
You can listen to live coverage with BBC Radio Norfolk on FM, DAB and Freeview from 19.00 GMT.
Guest summariser is former Norwich and Leeds midfielder Bradley Johnson.
Norwich City have arguably their two biggest games of the season in the coming days.
On Wednesday they head to Elland Road to play Leeds United in the Championship and on Sunday it's a trip to Liverpool in the FA Cup.
Canaries' head coach David Wagner said it won't be difficult to get the players up for a game against one of the biggest clubs in the country when they face Leeds.
Here's some stats (provided by OPTA) ahead of Wednesday's big game at Elland Road (19.45 GMT):
Leeds United have won each of their last three Football League games against Norwich, only between September 1972 and December 1973 have they ever won four in a row against them
Norwich lost their last league visit to Leeds 2-1 in March 2022 in the Premier League, though did win the last time these two sides were in the Championship in February 2019 (3-1)
Norwich have conceded in each of their last 12 away league games (25 in total), though did win their most recent one against Hull (2-1); they last won successive such matches in January last season
Only against Blackburn (4) has Leeds’ Joël Piroe started more Championship games without scoring than against Norwich (3), hitting the target with just one of his seven shots against them in the competition

Gary Gowers, My Football Writer - Norwich City, external
We’re a fickle old bunch us Norwich City supporters.
Wind the clock back to the start of December and most of us were fuming. Everything felt wrong.
Off the field, joint-majority shareholder Delia Smith was calling out some of the fans for being moaners and whingers and when questioned by a local journalist on the club’s unusual governance structure, she accused him (and the supporters) of “not having a clue”.
There was also disquiet around how much unchecked power had been afforded by the owners to the club’s executive director Zoe Webber and her small band of suits, and all against the backdrop of a mid-table team that was playing turgid football and a head coach who, in my opinion, had lost the trust of the supporters.
The relationship between club and supporter felt broken to me.
Yet here we are, just 24 days into 2024 and the mood has changed. And it’s certainly not because of anything that’s happened off the pitch.
Delia has said and done nothing to suggest she has altered her view of the whingers and moaners, and Zoe and her suits are still in situ and therefore still in control.
But, in typical football fashion, all of that angst has been temporarily shelved – forgotten even – because on the pitch something unexpected has occurred. Some would call it a mini-revival.
Since the beginning of December, City have lost just twice and, courtesy of five wins and three draws, have taken themselves to within two places and two points of the playoffs.
Even the beleaguered David Wagner now has his elbows out and is pushing back against some of the criticism he deemed unfair. After Saturday’s excellent win over West Brom, he joined the players in some post-match olés in front of a buoyant Barclay.
For the time being at least, there is calm. Hope, even.
It could all unravel quite quickly of course – we play at Elland Road on Wednesday in what will be City’s toughest test of the season – but if nothing else, it proves that ultimately all us supporters want is a team that competes and of which we can be proud.
Give us that, and all of the off-field stuff can wait for another day.

We asked for your views on Norwich City's best central defensive pairing. When the squad is fully fit, there's plenty of options.
Here's what you had to say:
Tommy - I think our best centre-back pairing at the moment is Gibson and Duffy (Hanley for Duffy when fully fit). Gibson has been getting unwarrented abuse by some 'fans'. I have also been a fan of 3 at the back and I'd like to see us do this. Allowing wing-backs to push on and allowing the likes of Sara, Rowe and Sainz to stay more central behind Sargent.
Jack - Gibson gets a lot of stick from the fans but he does provide good performances when we really need them. That said, I would still like some consistency and that is probably his biggest weakness. Duffy and McLean have made a pretty impressive pair thus far - but I much prefer McLean in his CDM-type role. Selling Omobamidele was a huge mistake.
George - On reported wages of £45k per week, these would have to be seriously reduced if being offered another contract. If not willing to reduce then we should look at offloading him this January.
Tulsa - Even with a fully fit squad, my CB pairing would be Duffy and McLean. Like James said on The Scrimmage on Monday, Gibson is error-prone. I'd much rather we sell Gibson to free-up the wage bill. Except for when Gibson was initially here on loan, I've never been impressed by him.
Stocksy - Yes, Ben Gibson is a centre-half that can do a job but he's absolutely not a "ball playing" centre-half and to use him as one is laughable.
Glen - Duffy and McLean.
'There's an element where I feel for David Wagner' - Chris Reeve on The Scrimmage

On this day - 22 January 1989
Robert Fleck scored a memorable goal for Norwich City as they beat Millwall 3-2 at The Den.
Goals from Ian Butterworth and Mark Bowen had given City a 2-0 lead but the Lions got it back to 2-2, with Tony Cascarino and Jimmy Carter on the scoresheet.
Fleck won it for the Canaries late-on with a stunning volley from outside the 18-yard box.
The game was broadcast live on network television, so it was a rare opportunity for City fans to see a match if they hadn't made the away trip.

David Wagner spoke to BBC Radio Norfolk following his side's 2-0 win over Championship play-off rivals West Brom.

Former Norwich City striker Adrian Coote was BBC Radio Norfolk's guest summariser as the Canaries beat West Brom 2-0 at Carrow Road.
The win puts City up to eighth in the Championship table and two points off the play-off places.
Here's what Coote had to say at full-time:
"We're talking about a Norwich team that are making progress, making strides in the league, in results and in performances.
"I just think it's been a really, really great performance. It's what the fans have needed, it's what the players have needed and it will give them confidence to build on."
He continued, "I know people say it's too early to be talking about the play-offs, but lets give some of these young lads some play-off experience, let's strive for that and see how far we go."
