Upcoming East Anglian Derby could be 'best in years' - Andy Marshall
25 years ago, Andy Marshall traded the Canaries for Tractor Boys. A switch repeated in August last year by Marcelino Nunez
A goalkeeper who played for Norwich and Ipswich tells us their upcoming clash could be one of the best in years.
The Canaries head into this East Anglian derby having won four of their last six games and with a faint chance of reaching the play-offs.
Town head into this East Anglian derby having won three of their last six games and sitting second in the Championship table.
The last time these two met, it finished 3-1 to Ipswich at Portman Road. Before this, Norwich City had a 14-game unbeaten run in this fixture.
"They'll want to go and win this one for the fans and finish the season well"
Andy Marshall played for Norwich between 1994 and 2001. He then made the permanent move to Ipswich and played there for three years:
"Philippe Clement has taken whichever group of players that is available to him and got the same high level of performance from every single one of them.
"That says a lot about him as a manager, but it equally says that many of the players probably weren't playing at the level that they should have been.
"I think there's less pressure on Norwich heading into this one, but it also isn't a free hit as they'll want to go and win this one for the fans, and finish the season well after a great win against Millwall.
"As soon as Norwich started to push towards the middle of the table, I just felt that the teams above them were just too far away, and I stand by that.
"Ipswich have got to be finishing in the top two"
"I think the pressure will be more on Ipswich this time around. It is really for them to come out, and they need to win.
"If they don't win, you've got Millwall, Middlesbrough, who I can't see dropping any points over the weekend. So anything less than three points and they could drop out of the automatic spots.
"I think it's fair to say that Ipswich aren't the same powerhouse as they were when they went up to the Premier League.
"But equally, they're an exceptional side, and they are really strong down the left-hand. The Norwich coaching staff will be urging the full-backs to show them down the lines.
"Ipswich have got to be finishing in the top two, that's where the pressure is for them".
The teams kick-off from 12.30 at Carrow Road.
