We said: Norwich City 2-1 Blackburn Rovers

There is little to separate these two teams, but Norwich will head into Saturday's contest as slight favourites considering their head-to-head record and Blackburn's struggles on the road. The return of Omobamidele and Idah has also strengthened the Canaries at a time when Rovers have lost Brittain for a lengthy period, and Smith's side should do enough to claim all three points on home soil.
