Norwich City vs Sheffield Wednesday predictions: Owls look out of their depth
Daniel Childs
Norwich have won seven of their last nine games
Sheffield Wednesday have failed to score in 10 of their last 12 fixtures
Recommended bet: Norwich win to nil
Norwich suffered a setback at the weekend, losing 2-1 at home to Birmingham, but they will fully expect a return to winning ways when taking on relegated Sheffield Wednesday at Carrow Road.
The Canaries were in the thick of the relegation scrap a couple of months ago, but have eased their concerns with a significant upturn in results.
Philippe Clement's side have won six of their last nine league games and their recent improvement looks ominous for Wednesday, who were officially relegated after Sunday's 2-1 derby loss at Sheffield United.
The Owls will be playing for pride for the remaining 13 games and are heading to Norfolk with the aim of securing their second league win of the campaign.

Team news
Injuries continue to hamper Norwich, who are without Jakov Medic, Harry Amass, Gabriel Forsyth, Pelle Mattsson, Mirko Topic, Amankwah Forson, Ante Crnac, Oscar Schwartau and Jovon Makama.
Matthias Kvistgaarden is an option to come into the starting line-up but in-form striker Mohamed Toure should continue, having scored five goals in his first four appearances for the club.
Sheffield Wednesday's squad is even more threadbare than usual after Gabriel Otegbayo (red card) and Liam Cooper (unspecified injury) failed to finish Sunday's 2-1 loss at Sheffield United.
The duo are certain absentees for the trip to Norfolk, as are Marvelous Nakamba (facial injury) and Olaf Kobacki (unspecified injury), who were recent additions to the treatment room.
Pierce Charles, Murphy Cooper, Max Lowe, Dominic Iorfa, Ernie Weaver, Nathaniel Chalobah and George Brown are also unavailable for the visiting side.

Prediction
Norwich were below their best in Saturday's loss at home to Birmingham, but they face a significant drop in class against basement boys Sheffield Wednesday and should ease to a routine success.
It has been a horrible season for the Owls, who are depleted by several injuries and demoralised by an 11-game losing sequence.
Wednesday were competitive in Sunday's Yorkshire derby when they played against 10 men for the majority of the second half.
But they were unable to break the losing habit and are set to be swept aside by the Canaries, who can secure an important three points alongside their fourth clean sheet of 2026.
