Man of the Match?
Who was your star player tonight at Carrow Road?
Analysis
As for Leicester, there was just far too many players off the pace today. Chilwell, Choudhury, Barnes, Maddison and Perez all had poor games. The Foxes need to rectify their form soon if they are to seal Champions League come the end of the season.
Analysis
So, where was the game won for the Canaries? It has to be their full-backs. Both Lewis and Aarons were excellent in dealing with the threat that Leicester posed, whilst most will have noticed they combined for the Canaries' winning goal.
League Table
That victory doesn't do much for the positions of the two sides in the Premier League table but it does shake things up. Norwich are now just four points from safety, whilst Leicester's buffer to Chelsea could be reduced to just three over the course of the weekend.
Norwich City 1-0 Leicester City
Whilst Norwich will be absolutely thrilled with that result, it will be a huge concern for Leicester. It's now just one win in seven for Brendan Rodgers team - certainly not Champions League form.
Norwich City 1-0 Leicester City
Let's take a look back on the key moment from Carrow Road...

Half-time thoughts?
It's been promising if not convincing from both sides. Cantwell has stood out for Norwich, whilst Iheanacho and Perez have been combining well for the visitors. This match is there for the taking for either side.
Norwich City 0-0 Leicester City
HT And that will be the break. It's certainly not been a classic in East Anglia. Leicester have probably had the better of the opportunities but it remains level.

41' Cantwell has been Norwich's best player by far this half as he manufactures another chance for Pukki but the Finn scuffs an effort wide.
Norwich City 0-0 Leicester City
38' That's the best chance of the game for Leicester! Iheanacho brings down Perez's ball but strikes over from close range! There are suspicions of handball though should that have hit the back of the net.
Norwich City 0-0 Leicester City

26' POST! Leicester almost take the lead as Dennis Praet hits the upright. Pereira and Barnes combine well before the former whips the ball into Praet. He knees an effort towards goal but he is denied by the frame.

This man has received a warm reception tonight...

Norwich City 0-0 Leicester City
12' Decent free-kick position for Buendia as Cantwell is hauled down by Ricardo Pereira probably 30 yards out. The Argentine's effort is straight at the Leicester wall. Disappointing.
Norwich City 0-0 Leicester City
11' The ball is initially awful and is cleared at the near post. It's played back in but Soyuncu can't pull it across the box.
Norwich City 0-0 Leicester City
10' It's a tale of early corners here as Leicester earn another, this time from the left.
Norwich City 0-0 Leicester City

1' We're all lined up and underway! Which one is this way going to go?
Approaching kick-off...
Players just coming out onto the pitch now! Cannot emphasise enough just how key this game is for both ends of the table.
Another shock?
Norwich City have already shocked some of the big boys at Carrow Road this season with that memorable win against Manchester City. They will certainly need to emulate that performance if they hope to earn anything tonight.
Inspiration?
Kelechi Iheanacho will be hoping to fill the void vacated by Jamie Vardy this season. The Foxes have only ever lost one match in which the Nigerian has scored.
Arrivals...
This man will certainly be a miss for Leicester City this evening...
Changes...
Norwich make one change to the side that lost 3-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers as Lukas Rupp is replaced by Emiliano Buendia.
Meanwhile, Leicester make three changes to the side that fell to a late loss to Manchester City. Christian Fuchs, Jamie Vardy and Youri Tielemans all drop out in place of Hamza Choudhury, Harvey Barnes and Ayoze Perez.

Build Up
For more of the stats and facts ahead of Norwich City vs Leicester City, make sure you read our preview ahead of the game.
Farke on Norwich’s survival task
Elsewhere, Daniel Farke is hoping his side can emulate their opponents after the Foxes’ own miraculous escape from relegation in 2015. The German said: “To be honest, it shows that everything is possible and that’s a great example. Everyone was writing them off and then they got seven wins from their last ten. If I’m honest, we weren’t on our top level in the last game, so I don’t want to speak about winning seven of the next ten games. It’s more important that we are focused on being back at the top of our game.”
Rodgers on Leicester form
With Leicester finding some tricky form as of late, Foxes’ boss Rodgers has called on his side to improve. He said: “I think we can be better, there’s no doubt about that. From mid-December it’s been inconsistent. But our assessment is at the end of the season. I couldn’t have asked for any more from the players. But the standards we’ve set mean we want to keep pushing. This last period, we haven’t been as consistent with the results, but we’ll look to get three points this Friday.”
Leicester City Team News
Brendan Rodgers can welcome Hamza Choudhury back into contention for clash after serving the suspension he picked up for a red card against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Kelechi Iheanacho should also be okay to return to action after being withdrawn last time out with a head injury. Midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi, will be subjected to a late fitness test but the game is likely to come too soon for fellow defensive midfielder Nampalys Mendy.
Norwich City Team News
Norwich have been handed some significant injury blows ahead of the game, especially in defence. Timm Klose is already ruled out and has been joined on the sidelines by Christoph Zimmerman. Sam Byram is also out for the rest of the campaign. Meanwhile, Onel Hernandez is going to be out for at least two months after having surgery on a knee problem.
What happened last time?
The two sides have not actually met in competitive play at Carrow Road since the 2015/16 season. In the early stages of their miraculous title charge, Leicester earned a slender win thanks to goals from Jamie Vardy and Jeffrey Schlupp despite Dieumerci Mbokani pulling a goal back for the hosts.
Friendly Face
One man in particular who will be looking forward to this tie is Foxes’ midfielder James Maddison. The English midfielder spent two seasons at Carrow Road, having his most successful campaign in 2017/18 with 14 goals before departing for Leicester City. The match will be his first return to his former club since leaving.
Out of form
It would be almost under-selling both side’s current form to say that they will each be desperate for a victory. Since the reverse match, Champions League chasing Leicester have only won three out of their last 11 games. They could really do with a victory to secure third place.
Elsewhere, Norwich now look doomed for the Championship after a horrendous run of form that has seen them win only one out of their 14 league matches. Now six points adrift at the bottom of the table, they need to reverse their fortunes sooner rather than later if they are to remain in the top flight.
