Norwich vs Sheffield United predictions: Canaries targeting third straight league win
Simon Barlow
Norwich have won seven of their last nine league matches
Sheffield United have lost four of their last eight away Championship contests
Recommended Bet: Norwich to win
Norwich will look to bounce back from their FA Cup disappointment when they host Sheffield United in the Championship on Wednesday.
The Canaries were beaten 3‑0 by Premier League Leeds in Sunday’s clash at Elland Road, but that result does little to overshadow their transformation in the league.
When Philippe Clement arrived in mid‑November, Norwich were in the relegation zone with just nine points from 15 matches, but the Norfolk outfit have collected 36 points from 20 games since, winning 11, and rising to the fringe of the play-off conversation.
A win over the Blades, who have made similar progress under Chris Wilder, would take them to within a point of the Sheffield club.
However, Saturday’s 1‑1 draw with West Brom, in which George Campbell scored at both ends, leaves the visitors eight points off sixth‑placed Wrexham with a game more played.

Prediction
Norwich’s league form under Clement has been outstanding and despite Sunday’s FA Cup defeat, they look well‑placed to extend their winning run.
The Blades have improved significantly since November, but Saturday’s disappointing home draw with West Brom may have ended any realistic play-off ambitions.
With the Canaries strong at home, in rhythm and boasting multiple in‑form attacking threats, they are backed to edge a competitive encounter.
