    Can they be stopped? No chance. They're up aren't they?

    It's 12 games unbeaten for Norwich now. Can they get the 100 points? Can they do it?

    They're going to bounce back into the Premier League because they've kept that squad together.

    Cambridge have been doing ever so well, but to be 2-0 down after 15 minutes was definitely not part of the game plan.

    Huddersfield 0-0 Rotherham

    Today's trip to Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield is lowly Rotherham's first of four games in eight days.

    They're seven points adrift of Birmingham City as it stands and they'll be looking to get that tricky run off to a good start.

    Derby 0-0 Norwich

    Norwich boss Daniel Farke has unsurprisingly named an unchanged side following their 7-0 win over Huddersfield on Tuesday.

    Kornell McDonald is making his full league debut for the Rams in place of the concussed Nathan Byrne.

    Kamil Jozwiak and Patrick Roberts have also come into the Derby side.
