Match preview

Norwich have moved on decisively since their slow start to the Championship season and can defeating fellow highflyers Reading in Berkshire.

It is no great surprise to see Norwich challenging towards the top of the table, but the same cannot be said of Reading, who were expected to struggle.

Paul Ince's side have won seven of 11 matches to move third in the table.

However, Reading have looked exposed against some of the bigger clubs, losing 4-0 at Sheffield United and 3-0 at home to Sunderland, and their small squad could hamper them during the busy period before the World Cup.

Reading profited from basic errors when winning 3-1 at home to Huddersfield on Saturday, but cannot expect such gifts from Norwich, who are contending for a third Championship title in five years.

Norwich have the knack of dominating second-tier opponents and should rack up an eighth win of the season.

Key stat

Norwich have won seven of their last eight Championship games.
