Team News

Norwich
Sheff Utd
  • Johannes Thorup could hand a full league debut to centre-back Jose Cordoba after he appeared from the bench against Blackburn.
  • Ashley Barnes is the Canaries' only injury concern, although they are without Jon Rowe, who is refusing to play amidst ongoing transfer speculation.
  • Michael Cooper will make his debut in between the sticks after signing from Plymouth, while Crystal Palace loanee Jesurun Rak-Sakyi should make his first start on the right.
  • Sam McCallum returned to the matchday squad ahead of the game against QPR, meaning Femi Seriki and Jamie Shackleton are Sheffield United's only confirmed absentees.

Prediction

  • Johannes Thorup watched his side secure an impressive point against a fast-starting Blackburn side last weekend, although he will be ruing the fact that Norwich didn't walk away with all three after conceding in the 87th minute. The former Nordsjaelland boss will be eager to seal a first league win following a winless start after two gameweeks.
  • Sheffield United were seemingly in a positive to close out their 2-1 lead against QPR in comfort last Saturday after the London club were reduced to 10 men in the 83rd minute, but Lyndon Dykes had other ideas. The Scottish striker put his side level with two minutes left on the clock, meaning the Blades head into this fixture with four points on the board, rather than six.
