Image source, Rex FeaturesNorwich are unbeaten in six league matches as they prepare to host Stoke.
Daniel Farke's side last tasted a Championship defeat at the end of August against leaders Leeds and are now motoring towards the top two.

Swansea City v Ipswich Town (15:00 BST)

It certainly sounds like Swansea City chairman Huw Jenkins is enjoying the brand of football the Swans are playing under manager Graham Potter.
"Graham has settled into his job at Swansea City with ease and has already shown he can get the team playing the sexy, winning football we had become used to watching over many years," he wrote in his column in the matchday programme.
Swansea City v Ipswich Town (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesAs already mentioned, Ipswich manager Paul Hurst is a man in need of a win as he takes his side to south Wales and Swansea's Liberty Stadium.
Hurst is yet to taste victory in any competition since he swapped Shrewsbury for Ipswich in the summer and there were few positives to take from a 2-0 defeat by Middlesbrough on Tuesday.
Will Graham Potter be the man to put the boot in?
Potter's Swans well and truly have the wood on their visitors before this one with Ipswich's last league win against Swansea coming almost 36 years ago when goals from Russell Osman, George Burley and John Wark gave the Tractor Boys a 3-1 win in November 1982.
Sheffield United v Hull City (15:00 BST)

Former Blades boss Nigel Adkins will be bidding to get one over his old employers to end a run of four matches without a win and pull themselves away from the bottom three.
Middlesbrough v Nottingham Forest (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesMiddlesbrough have also flirted with top spot in the Championship in recent weeks and this afternoon Nottingham Forest provide the latest test of Tony Pulis' squad.
Forest are unbeaten in their past five league matches and sit just a point off the play-off places.
There's some strange symmetry for Forest boss Aitor Karanka as he bids to mastermind an away win - Middlesbrough have lost one of their past 13 home league matches against Forest (W4 D8).
What's more, that defeat in January 2016 came when they were managed by.......Aitor Karanka.
West Brom v Reading (15:00 BST)
Image source, Getty ImagesWest Brom may have slipped off the Championship's top spot in midweek, but their two late goals at Sheffield Wednesday in the 2-2 draw ensured Darren Moore's side extended their unbeaten run to six matches.
The Baggies have a chance of going back to the summit this afternoon and face Reading side still struggling for form and consistency.
