The visitors also picked up maximum points last time out against a relegation rival, with a 94th-minute winner earning a 2-1 triumph over Leicester City last weekend. That was just their first win of 2023 and they are still only three points above the bottom three, meaning another victory here would be hugely important in their fight for survival.

The hosts head into this huge game off the back of a 2-1 win over fellow strugglers Nottingham Forest on Tuesday that hoisted them out of the relegation zone. Yet, they remain just two points above the bottom three and could really do with another victory here to further alleviate their fears of dropping back into the second tier.
