Blackburn Rovers host Norwich City this Saturday at Ewood Park for Matchweek Four of the EFL Championship.
Rovers have won only three points to date and sit 16th - their start to the season looking rosier after a 0-3 victory over Hull City last time out.
Norwich are a single place below their hosts with the same points haul this term. In their last game, Liam Manning's team lost 0-3 against Southampton in the Carabao Cup, the former Bristol City boss looking to find momentum at his new club following his somewhat controversial switch to another team in the same division.
The last meeting between these two teams ended in a 1-1 draw. Stephen Gillett (Playmakerstats on Norwich):
Norwich are yet to win at home this season, losing all three league games at Carrow Road where they suffered a pretty emphatic 3-0 EFL Cup defeat to Southampton in the week.
A change of scenery may therefore be a help for the Canaries and they travel to Ewood Park on Saturday, where they have an excellent record, having won on five of their last seven visits. Liam Manning will be looking for a reaction from his side and this looks a close one to call. We'll sit on the fence and go for a draw! Prediction: 1-1
