This evening, Norwich City welcome Coventry City to Carrow Road, determined to maintain their impressive unbeaten record against the Sky Blues. The Canaries have been a formidable opponent for Coventry, remaining unbeaten in their last 11 league meetings, boasting seven wins and four draws since their last defeat—a 2-1 loss back in February 2009.

Coventry City, however, are eager to break a troubling trend that has seen them lose their last three league matches away to Norwich. A fourth consecutive defeat at Carrow Road would be particularly disheartening for the visitors, especially given their recent struggles on the road. After a strong start to the season, where they secured five wins from six away games in October and November, Coventry have faltered, failing to win in their last five away matches since December, which included three draws and two losses.
Norwich's home performance this season has also been less than stellar. The Canaries have managed only three victories and one draw from their 13 home games, placing them second from the bottom in home performance, just above Sheffield Wednesday. Furthermore, they have scored a mere 12 goals at Carrow Road, marking the second-lowest tally in the division.
Despite these challenges, there is reason for optimism among Norwich supporters, particularly with the emergence of striker Jovon Makama. The young forward has been in outstanding form, netting nine goals in his last nine starts across all competitions. Notably, seven of these goals have come in just five appearances at home, showcasing his ability to find the net in front of the home crowd.
As the two teams prepare for this evening's encounter under the floodlights, both sides will feel the pressure to perform. Norwich aim to reinforce their stronghold over Coventry, while the Sky Blues look to turn around their fortunes and reignite their push for a playoff spot. The match is set to kick off at 20:00 GMT, and the anticipation is palpable as the Canaries and the Sky Blues vie for crucial points in the Championship.
