However, many Canaries supporters may struggle to get to the East Anglian derby, even if they have a match ticket.
A series of works on the rail network will see no trains running between Ipswich and Norwich, including from Diss, meaning fans further afield may have to find another way to make it to Carrow Road.

The game kicks off at 12.30pm on Saturday, April 11, despite efforts from Norfolk Constabulary.
The force had contacted both clubs and the English Football League (EFL) in an attempt to move the match to the evening of Friday, April 10, when trains are available.
Officers feared fans travelling to the stadium by car would make it harder to marshal.
Martin Beable, on behalf of Greater Anglia and Network Rail, said they are liaising with the police and Ipswich Town to ensure fans can get to and from the match.
“We are sorry our planned work will affect supporters travelling to the game by rail,” he said.
“We have been liaising with Ipswich Town Football Club and the police authorities, and by working together, we have confirmed plans to make sure supporters can travel safely to and from the game.
“We plan our rail improvement work very carefully, a long time in advance, to minimise the impact on journeys and to allow everyone to plan ahead.”
The work is also being carried out on April 12, 18, 19 and 26, with buses replacing Greater Anglia train services on these dates.
A Network Rail spokesman added: “Network Rail will be carrying out vital upgrades on the line between Ipswich and Norwich on some April weekends, as well as improving three level crossings for both passengers and road users.
“The works, which can only be done when trains aren’t running, are aimed at minimising the risk of faults that cause delays.”
