History of the Norwich City v Millwall fixture

Norwich City play host to Millwall at Carrow Road at lunchtime on Saturday, looking to continue an impressive record. The Canaries are clearly on top, having won 21 and lost only 5 of the 38 games.

The last time the two teams met at Norwich City was just over four years ago, in October 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
