Neither side could find a way through in this stalemate
Preston North End gained a little ground on the top six to keep their Championship play-off hopes alive after a goalless draw with Norwich City.
Paul Gallagher's free-kick struck the crossbar in the first-half, as North End enjoyed the better chances.
Josh Harrop went close for Preston in the second period, but Norwich were again able to contain.
The visitors had opportunities late on but Timm Klose fired wide, as neither side were able to make a breakthrough.
Alex Neil's Lilywhites began the day three points behind Millwall - who occupy the final play-off place - and despite dropping a place with this result, narrowed the gap to the top six to just two points.
Despite their best efforts, clear cut chances were at a premium as Preston had just two shots on target, while Norwich failed to manage a single opportunity to test goalkeeper Declan Rudd.
North End travel to Sheffield United next week, another side with play-off ambitions.
Preston North End manager Alex Neil:
"We are all a bit frustrated because we certainly did enough to win the game. It's about putting those opportunities in the net when you are on top. I don't think Norwich had a shot on target all game.
"Paul Gallagher showed great quality with that free-kick in the first half. You just need that little bit of luck at times.
"One positive we can take is that before the game it was three points, after the game it's now two points so we've clawed some points back which is a bit fortunate. We've now got a really important game Saturday which we need to win. If we don't then unfortunately our play-off hopes have gone."
Norwich City boss Daniel Farke:
"I'm proud of my lads' behaviour but we would only be 100% content if we won the game.
"I thought we were pretty much in control of the game, the weather was pretty warm but we showed that attitude and commitment, I'm very proud of the players.
"The commitment is always there but the attitude to keep a clean sheet was there. In general we gave everything, to have this attitude at this part of the season is outstanding."
