Now then.

The home side have a free-kick right on the edge of the Ipswich area.

The fans want Axel Tuanzebe off for his challenge on Josh Sargent who was bursting towards goal but the referee decides a yellow will suffice.

The former Manchester United man is ADAMANT he won the ball.

Replays suggest he has a case.

Into the 30th minute and no real goalmouth action of which to speak.

I'm not unduly worried though, it was 0-0 after half an hour when these sides met in December and finished 2-2.

Norwich win a free-kick in a pretty decent area, 30 yards from goal and just to the right.

Gabriel Sara takes charge but sends his effort comfortably wide.

One to keep an eye on as Norwich forward Ashley Barnes looks to be in some discomfort.

He's carrying on at the moment but he the expression on his face suggests he might not be on for too much longer.

We'll see.

Ipswich are starting to show why they're top of the table at the moment.

They keep possession for about three or four minutes and win a corner down their left.

Very evenly contested so far.

Both teams are doing fine work between the two boxes but, just at the moment, that last pass or cross isn't there.

Understandable really, the pressure on this one is immense.

David Wagner is getting quite animated at the moment. He knows Ipswich can hit on the break and we need to be careful with how we pass the ball around.

You can really sense the pressure of this game, and the Canaries need to relax the nerves.

Ipswich win a free-kick in the Norwich half and then a throw in high up that is hurled into the area.

The Canaries defence are up to the task on both occasions.

This has been a very meaty exchange so far and Ipswich look up for it.

However, they have to be careful not to give too much of the ball to Jack Stacey. He's galloping up and down the wing like an Olympic sprinter!

Sometimes these early kick-offs can take a bit of time to get going, none of that in this one.

Passes are being zipped around and challenges are going in from both sides.

Neither keeper forced into real work yet.

The Championship leaders go on their first raid forward and Omari Hutchinson wins Ipswich's first corner of the match.

It's played short and clipped to the back stick by Sam Morsy but there's a foul in the middle.

On the back of Monday's loss at Leicester, Norwich needed to start on the front foot.

And that is exactly what we've seen.

The home side win the game's first corner inside the first 20 seconds.

It's punched out as far as Borja Sainz on the edge of the area but he can only slice the bouncing ball into the stands.

We're off and running in front of a tremendous atmosphere.

Fantastic stuff.

Let's hope the action on the pitch matches up to the noise from the stands.

The two teams in action in today's early game might be looking to go up but one of the Championship's relegation spots is already sewn up.

Rotherham's inevitable return to League One was confirmed on Friday night as they fell to a 1-0 defeat by Plymouth.

Bali Mumba's goal gave the Pilgrims, who sacked head coach Ian Foster on Monday, a first win in six and moved them four points clear of the bottom three.

As for Rotherham, last night's reverse was a 26th of a wretched campaign that has seen them win just four games to date.

Norwich make one change from the 3-1 reverse at Leicester on Monday as veteran Shane Duffy comes in for the injured Jacob Sorensen at the back.

Ipswich also make just one alteration after their thrilling 3-2 win over Southampton on Easter Monday. Nathan Broadhead came off the bench to score in that game and he takes the place of Kayden Jackson in the frontline.

As mentioned a moment ago, Ipswich are without a win in Norfolk since 2006.

It won't be easy to end that miserable run today, the Canaries are unbeaten in front of their own fans since way back in November and have won their past seven matches at Carrow Road.

However, boss David Wagner is aware that that might not count for much on derby day.

"It makes it even more exciting because you want to test yourself against the best, and after 40 games they are the best, so it makes even more interesting and probably counts more for us to cause the league leaders some problems," he told BBC Radio Norfolk.

"Our home record is top class but what happened in the weeks before doesn't really count in a derby. You have to be focused on yourself, calm in your head and be super competitive, fight for every inch and this is what we will do."

Meanwhile, Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna hopes to give his side's supporters "another fantastic day".

Town are winless against Norwich in 15 years in all competitions but, chasing a second successive promotion, arrive in Norfolk in confident mood.

"The players have given the supporters so many nights to enjoy over the past couple of years, so many memories," McKenna told BBC Radio Suffolk.

"We know that winning away to our local rivals would be another fantastic day.

"In my experience, going away from home and getting a result is some of the best wins I've been part of. And we'll endeavour to make Saturday another one of those."

Good afternoon and welcome to a bumper EFL live text as we head into the final straight of the season.

We're starting off with an absolute humdinger with East Anglian rivals Norwich and Ipswich meeting with far more than just local bragging rights on the line.

Championship table-toppers Town could end the day five points clear of third if results go their way, but for that to happen they'll need to do something they haven't done since February 2006 and win at their bitter rivals.

Like their visitors today Norwich have designs on ending the season with promotion, albeit they'll be looking to do it through the play-offs. The Canaries are sixth, four points clear of seventh-placed Coventry, who have a game in hand.

After the action down in Norfolk is wrapped we'll be turning our attention to 10 Championship games, 10 League One matches and a full complement of League Two fixtures.

Off we go!
