Derby v Norwich (15:00 GMT)
Image source, rexNorwich boss Alex Neil was given public backing by chairman Ed Balls earlier this week.
The Canaries are currently on a six-match winless run that has seen them drop down to sixth in the Championship.
Balls, who has been faring far better on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing, told BBC Radio Norfolk: "He knows he's got the backing of the board.
"We've worked with him very closely for a couple of years, we know his quality, we know his integrity and determination and we know he can do it."
Despite his chairman's kind words, Neil will probably think he can do without a trip to in-form Derby this afternoon.
