Norwich boss Alex Neil admits that their clash against Ipswich in their Championship playoff semi-final will be the biggest in the history of the East Anglian derby.

Norwich City boss Alex Neil believes that his side Championship playoff semi-final showdown against Ipswich Town will be the biggest game in the local derby's history.

The Canaries defeated Fulham 4-2 on the final day of the season to finish third in the table, while Ipswich lost 3-2 to Blackburn Rovers to set up the East Anglian derby for a place in the playoff final.

"I should imagine it will be biggest derby ever in terms of what is at stake," Neil told Sky Sports News. "It's a huge game, the sort of game you want to be involved in as a manager or a player.

"I know how much it will mean to everyone connected with the club - and we will be doing our utmost to make sure we come through it."

The first leg takes place at Portman Road next Saturday.
