A win tonight against Bournemouth will see Norwich City secure a place in the Premier League.

Norwich currently sit at the top of the table with an eight point advantage over second place Watford and need just two points to be one of the first teams to secure promotion.

Tonight (17/4) the Canaries face fifth place Bournemouth at Carrow Road at 8pm with a win securing them that spot in a Premier League.

They could also be promoted if Brentford & Swansea fail to win their matches this lunchtime.

As it stands Swansea, Brentford, Bournemouth & Barnsley sit in the four playoff spots.

Norwich and Bournemouth have met 60 times since 1923, with 24 wins for Norwich, 20 wins for Bournemouth and 16 draws.

Last time the two teams met earlier this season, Norwich lost 1-0 at the Vitality Stadium.

Although supporters can't all be their in person today, season ticket holders can watch the match via iFollow and there is also audio passes still available on the clubs website.

This weekend is also the first first weekend pub gardens are back open with Norfolk Police urging drinkers that are planning to mark Norwich City's Premier League promotion bid to keep any celebrations within the regulations and avoid gathering in groups of more than six people.
