Going into Sunday's Game Norwich Lay in Second place and are just two points behind Leaders West Bromwich Albion, meanwhile Ipswich are currentley laying a bit further back in fourth place and are themselves trailing Norwich by a margin of four points
With the Pride Of East Anglia Even more at stake than normal with both teams this season battling for promotion, ITFM asked lifelong Norwich fan Matt Walters a few questions on this weekends game:
How do you feel your doing this season?
I feel we are doing well, a few years ago when we went out in the Play-Off Final we thought that we had blown our best chance, although this year we have done a bit better than many fans would have expected.
However it remains to be seen how well we will do without Huckerby should he not elect to join us full time, and without Peter Crouch, both of which made a great impact since joining us on loan, although with McKenzie and Svensson signing, we have two players who could help fill the gaps left.
How do you think Ipswich are doing this season?
To be honest, I don't think your doing that badly, I thought you would be there or thereabouts, and you've done well on basically a shoestring budget, Royle has done a good job, I could never understand why your fans didn't like him.
I think both clubs will be up there or thereabouts, and wouldn't it be wonderful if we both ended up playing for a place in the Premiership at Cardiff? Though I'm still tipping us to go up automatically!
Who do you think's your best and most on form players at the moment?
Without a question of a doubt it was Huckerby until he had to go back, although it may only be temporarily, Robert Green is most defenite in good for, although it would be unfair to signal out any particular members of the team, as pretty much everyone is playing well.
Are there any hidden gems or youngsters in the squad we may not have heard of?
Ryan Jarvis is without a doubt one of the most promising youngsters we've had in years, although he probbably won't feature that much if at all on Saturday.
Where do you expect both clubs to finish this season and how will they do?
Realistically, I can see us both in the top six, my heart says we'll get into the top two, but in my head I know it's going to be a tough job, and if Huckerby doesn't come back, we will badly miss him, so I'll say 3rd for us and 5th for you and meet in the Play-Off Final at Cardiff.
Which Ipswich players do you think could cause the most problems for your side?
Shefki Kuqi can be a handful, like Crouch he's not the best skilled player, however from what i have seen he will run all day and will cause defences problems without actually being that good at any attributes most footballers require, though he does have the key one thats effort.
Other players who could cause us problems I feel are Jim Magilton, as he's a playmaker of the highest level, and his passing will need to be something we control, and Pablo Counago, because it hurts to say it, but he does have some good skills and is tricky around the box and should he not start against us, I'm sure Nigel and the lads will be relieved.
What sort of line-up can we expect from you?
I would expect we would line up as a 4-4-2, but with the players we have signed over the past few days, I really couldn't give you a decent lineup that would probbably be correct!
What would you prefer? For us to get promoted so the derbies carry on, or just yourselves so you can be a league higher than us?
Fos us both to get promoted of course, as much as we are rivals, I would miss the Derbies, as they're a great source of fun, and if they went away, I'd miss them most defantley.
Predicted score?
1-1, Portman Road is never an easy place to come, and I would not be too disappointed with a draw and beat you in the Return leg at Carrow Road later in the year!
