There has been an upturn in terms of performances since Philippe Clement took charge of Norwich City, but they are still in a very difficult position, as they find themselves five points adrift of safety heading into the weekend.

Up next, as well, is arguably the best team in the Championship right now. Southampton are flying under Tonda Eckert, winning games and scoring freely since he took over from Will Still.

Simeon Gholam and David Prutton look ahead to Norwich City vs Southampton

Sky Sports' David Prutton:

"Norwich have made a change but it is fits and starts in terms of improvement. It is a hell of a job that Philippe Clement has on his hands, and there is real work still to do.

"Southampton have found their scoring boots under Tonda Eckert. The players who were at a certain level earlier in the season have now upped that, as we presumed they would because they have a very good squad, if not one of the best in the division.
