Norwich City play host to Cardiff City at on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having taken all the points from 13 of the 17 contests.
The last time the two teams met at Norwich City was amazingly over twenty years ago, in March 1982, the Canaries carving out a narrow 2-1 victory in a Second Division match.
