Confident start by Bolton as Darren Pratley first sees a strike blocked before firing straight at John Ruddy. It is pretty quiet at Carrow Road with Norwich still to settle.

"Liverpool have been very hit and miss. It's not as bad as some people make out, though. They have not set the standards they set last season, and Luis Suarez is a miss. But it's not all doom and gloom. They have won one more game than Manchester United and Arsenal, for example."

Off we go after an impeccable minute's silence in Norwich's final home game before Remembrance Sunday.

Bolton manager Neil Lennon on Sky Sports: "This is as stern a test you can face in the Championship with the squad Norwich have. But my players are relishing this."

Times football writer Rory Smith: "Alan Pardew has done a really good job in difficult circumstances. It does go in spurts for Newcastle and it's not really obvious what triggers those good or bad patches."

Norwich City manager Neil Adams on Sky Sports: "In most games we've played well but we have to turn chances into goals. If we win then we go level on points at the top. We will deserve that."

Five minutes until kick-off. Carrow Road is filling nicely. Another 20,000-plus crowd pouring in and some are even dressed in fancy dress Halloween outfits. But will it be Norwich or Bolton who turn in a monster performance?

Think of Delia Smith and images of sumptuous food come to mind...as well as that infamous 'Let's be 'aving you?' half-time outburst on the Carrow Road pitch.

It is almost 10 years ago that the celebrity cook, during her side's 3-2 defeat to Manchester City, yelled into the public address system: "This is a message for possibly the best supporters in the world. We need a 12th man. Where are you? Where are you?"

Now aged 73, Delia is as passionate about Norwich as she was back then in February 2005. Last week the club's majority shareholder joined fans for a swift half in a pub, external ahead of the goalless draw away to Sheffield Wednesday. Will she be cracking open the champagne later if the Canaries overcome Bolton?

Twelve months ago Neil Lennon was preparing Celtic for a Champions League game against Ajax. Now the 43-year-old finds himself in a Championship relegation scrap.

Yet the Trotters have responded well to the former Northern Ireland international's arrival, with Bolton winning two out of three games since his appointment earlier this month.

A win at Carrow Road and Bolton, in their third season outside of the top-flight, will climb out of the relegation zone ahead of back-to-back home game with Cardiff and Wigan. "Bolton are hurting with the situation the club finds itself in," says Lennon. "They have entrusted me to change that."

Remember Jay Spearing zipping around Anfield as an enthusiastic teenager for Liverpool? Well, Spearing is 25 now and closing in on a milestone for Bolton. The Trotters skipper makes his 97th league appearance for the club this evening since originally joining on loan from Liverpool at the end of August 2012.

Norwich boss Neil Adams reacts to last week's goalless draw at Sheffield Wednesday by making three changes. Out go Bradley Johnson, Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe and Lewis Grabban. In come Gary O'Neil, Nathan Redmond and Kyle Lafferty.

Norwich: Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin, Turner, Olsson; O'Neil, Tettey, Redmond, Howson, Lafferty, Jerome. Subs: Rudd, Cuellar, Johnson, Grabban, Hooper, Miquel, Josh Murphy.

Bolton make two changes to the team that overcame Brentford 3-1 last time out. Kevin McNaughton and Joe Mason make way for Oscar Threlkeld and Mark Davies.

Bolton: Lonergan, Threlkeld, Mills, Dervite, Ream, Spearing, M Davies, Danns, Pratley, Chung-yong, Beckford. Subs: Kenny, Mason, Clayton, Trotter, Vela, C Davies, Moxey.

Times football writer Rory Smith: "I think the pressure is more on City. There is something strange about them this season. It would seem like their sum is less than their parts. We now have a strong Chelsea, so City need to be better than they were last season."

Ex-Fulham manager Rene Meulensteen: "There is something lacklustre about the City team which I can't put my finger on. David Silva not playing on Sunday is a big blow because he is the man who really links them and gives them momentum."

"Chelsea play QPR and you would expect them to get three points, so Manchester City are desperate to get three points to stay in touch. A lot of people are saying the pressure is on Man City, but I disagree. I think it's on Manchester United. It's almost two years since they beat City."

Do you agree with Robbie Savage? Is Manuel Pellegrini's position at Manchester City under threat if they lose at home to Manchester United on Sunday?

Of course it is not just in the Championship where managers are under pressure.

Former Wales midfielder Robbie Savage, writing in his regular BBC Sport column, says Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini could be under pressure if they lose Sunday's derby at home to Manchester United.

"If they don't get three points against United then, with their hopes of Champions League progress also in the balance, there could be serious questions asked about Pellegrini's future for the first time since he arrived in English football in the summer of 2013," writes Savage.
