    So two of the Championship's hottest shots go head-to-head this evening in Norwich's Teemu Pukki and Brentford's Ivan Toney.

    There's 43 goals between them so far in the league this season, which one will come out on top tonight?

    My colleague Ged Scott took a closer look at the form book before kick-off.

    Norwich City are unchanged from their win at Wycombe on Saturday.

    Teemu Pukki leads the line with Grant Hanley skippering.

    Once he's got off the phone, Brentford boss Thomas Frank will tell us he's made two changes from their victory against Stoke City as Sergi Canos and Mathias Jensen return to the starting line-up at the expense of Tariqe Fosu and Josh Dasilva.

    Norwich City XI: Krul, Aarons, Giannoulis, Gibson, Hanley (capt), Skipp, Buendia, Vrancic, McLean, Hernandez, Pukki.

    Subs: Barden, Sorensen, Zimmermann, Dowell, Placheta, Rupp, Tettey, Hugill, Idah.

    Brentford XI: Raya, Sorensen, Reid, Dalsgaard, Pinnock, Ghoddos, Janelt, Jensen, Canos, Toney, Mbeumo.

    Subs: Daniels, Roerslev, Bidstrup, Marcondes, Norgaard, Zamburek, Forss, Fosu, Gilbert.

  3. Summit meetingpublished at 17:15 Greenwich Mean Time 3 March 2021

    Norwich City v Brentford (17:30 GMT)

    A big Wednesday evening is in store in the Championship with six fixtures, starting with an absolute rip-snorter.

    First hosts second at Carrow Road as Norwich City face Brentford in a meeting of many pundits' promotion favourites.

    The Canaries have a great chance to stretch their lead with a win while Brentford can silence a few doubters with a victory of their own.

    Both sides will also have a keen eye on third-placed Watford hosting bottom-placed Wycombe and fourth-placed Swansea City travelling to Stoke City later as both try to keep pace with the top two.

    It promises to be an eventful night.
