Norwich City travel to take on Nottingham Forest at City Ground at tea-time on Saturday, needing to turn around their fortunes at the ground. The Canaries will be hoping to improve upon a record which has seen them lose 18 and win only 7 of the 31 games.
The last time the two teams met at Nottm. Forest was back in August 2003, over five years ago, with Nottm. Forest running out comfortable 2 - 0 winners in a League Division One match.
