Marco Stiepermann flashes a first-time half-volley across goal from outside the box and Ipswich keeper Bartosz Bialkowski gets fingertips on it to help it behind.

The officials didn't see the save, so Norwich don't get the corner.

Ipswich have improved in the past few minutes, playing more of the game in the Norwich half, but are still lacking invention in the final third.

Midfielder Cole Skuse has been warned after a succession of fouls and could be facing a booking from the next one.

Whether he's feeling the cold or not, Paul Lambert must have a slightly dented pride.

He won back-to-back promotions with Norwich, going from League One to the Premier League.

After leaving the Canaries for Aston Villa at the end of the 2012 season following a year in the top flight, he's had fairly mixed spells at Villa, Blackburn, Wolves and Stoke.

And now he's facing relegation back to League One with Ipswich.

Norwich come forward again and Mario Vrancic sends an effort over the bar from the edge of the area.

Ipswich have a first sustained period of pressure, but Norwich deal with a bit of head tennis and clear.

Will Keane goes down in the box chasing a hopeful ball in, but it was mostly from him running into full-back Jamal Lewis.

Norwich’s teenage full-back Max Aarons is full of beans, marauding down the right and causing the visitors endless problems.

Paul Lambert isn’t hiding from any flak - the Ipswich boss is almost constantly patrolling his technical area, and isn’t even wearing a coat!

Luke Chambers sends a header over the Norwich bar from a corner.

A first sight at goal for the Tractor Boys, but they couldn't get it on target.

Ipswich win their first corner of the game as Freddie Sears' cross from the byline is blocked at close range by Christoph Zimmerman.

The ball did come off his hand but the referee is not interested in appeals for a penalty.

One ball over the top searching for Teemu Pukki has Ipswich centre-back Matt Pennington at full stretch as he concedes a corner with a header.

The set-piece comes to nothing, no doubt to the relief of the travelling fans.

The numbers don't look great for Ipswich after falling behind in the second minute.

They have only won once away from home this season in the Championship, and have lost their past six away games in the league - scoring just one goal in the process.

And, from the 19 league games where they have fallen behind this season, they have only come back to win once.

Ouch.

Norwich fans won't care about that, though...

Marco Stiepermann bursts into the Ipswich box, but Jon Nolan is on hand to shepherd the ball out of play for a goal kick.

A chance for the visitors to draw breath.

Norwich are rampant.

Right-back Max Aarons gets to the byline and finds Teemu Pukki with a cut-back, but the Finnish striker can't turn the ball on target.

The hosts have had five attempts at goal already, and there's danger of them blowing the visitors away early on.

Phillippa: Took Norwich a little longer than I expected to get a goal... Thought they'd score within 30 odd seconds.

Adam Lawrence: Fancy us (Ipswich) today, you know what they say - form book goes out o....oh wait its 1-0 already.

Still a long way to go, Adam!

Another sight at goal for the Canaries, as Mario Vrancic - that man again - gets on the end of a cross but heads wide.

A slight delay to the restart as Mario Vrancic gets a bit of treatment.

He got clattered by Trevoh Chalobah as he stooped to head the ball back across goal.

It took 82 seconds for Norwich to break the deadlock.

Ipswich get us started at Carrow Road in the 107th East Anglian derby.

Norwich are in their traditional yellow and green, with Ipswich in their blue home kit, with white shorts.

Who will come out with the bragging rights?

Peter Bankes is the referee today.

Two things are almost certain at Carrow Road this afternoon...

Ipswich boss Paul Lambert will get plenty of stick from home fans on his return to Norwich - and the Scot will absolutely love it.

The ex-Stoke and Aston Villa manager has thick skin and seems to relish adversity, so you do wonder whether the narrative coming into this derby will suit him and the Tractor Boys down to a tee.
