Daniel Farke's side signed off for Christmas with a superb 1-0 win at Blackburn, thanks to another late Teemu Pukki strike.

Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest lost for the first time in their history at home to Queens Park Rangers – upping the pressure on Karanka and his side's stalling promotion bid.

The game is lined up for Lewis Grabban's latest Carrow Road return, after a mixed spell at Norwich.
