The 38-year-old had endured a largely frustrating clay-court season in the build-up to Paris, and split from coach Andy Murray after a poor run of results.
But Djokovic won in Geneva and he has carried that form into Roland Garros, where he has not yet dropped a set in three routine wins.
Remarkably, Djokovic has not failed to make the quarter-finals at the French Open since 2009, and he will be desperate to keep that run going with a victory over Norrie.
The 29-year-old came through an all-British clash in the third round as he beat Jacob Fearnley, extending a tournament that began with a first-round win over 11th seed Daniil Medvedev.
Norrie has largely struggled for form in recent months but there has been a welcome upturn in performances in Paris, and a shock win here would earn him only a second Grand Slam quarter-final appearance.
Djokovic and Norrie met ten days ago in Geneva, when the Serbian won in three sets in the semi-finals.
