    "Anything could happen in this one! Norwich are unbeaten in four games in all competitions and have played some lovely football at times this season.

    "Nathan Redmond is on fire and Wes Hoolahan at last has a manager who fully believes in his creativity.

    "Leicester were run ragged by Arsenal but their best performances all campaign have come away, where Riyad Mahrez can break with such speed to link up with Jamie Vardy, who is one of the hardest-working players anywhere this season.

    "If Vardy scores, it'll mark his best ever run in league football. His contest with the in-form Russell Martin could decide the outcome."

    Riyad Mahrez is sat on the bench and does not look amused. Who can blame him after his spectacular start to the season. Is it a wise move from boss Claudio Ranieri, or will it back fire?

    Spare a thought for everyone who selected the Algerian in their Fantasy Football teams. RIP points for this week.

    One of the most experienced managers in the Premier League is up against one of the greenest in the division. Still, the redoubtable Alex Neil is unlikely to be intimidated by the avuncular Claudio Ranieri...

    Carrow Road is filling up as we approach kick-off and despite being early October, the sun is still shining in East Anglia. 

    Norwich's bright yellow and green shirts are perfect for this weather, but will the sun still be shining on them at full time?

    Leicester, meanwhile, are unbeaten away from home in the top flight this term, winning at West Ham and drawing with both Bournemouth and Stoke.

    Plenty murmurs of surprise at Carrow Road when the team sheets arrived and it became apparent that Riyad Mahrez had been left on the bench by Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri.

    There have been no suggestions of an injury, which makes leaving out their most influential performer in the opening weeks a bold call.

    Jamie Vardy starts despite breaking to bones in his hand. Tough lad...

    Norwich v Leicester (15:00 BST)

    Norwich make one change to the side that drew against West Ham last week, as Matt Jarvis returns to the starting line-up in place of Martin Olsson. 

    The big news for Leicester is that star man Riyad Mahrez misses out. Jeffrey Schlupp comes in, while Danny Simpson also gets a start at right-back in place of Richie De Laet.

    Not long ago, these two sides each spent a season in the third tier of English football, wondering if they'll ever get back to the big time.

    Fast forward a couple of years and not only are they there, Norwich and Leicester harbour bigger ambitions than just preserving their status in the Premier League.

    Welcome to Saturday football.
