Sheffield United claimed their first Championship three points of the season in midweek as a last-gasp winner saw them edge promoted Bolton 3-2 in a thriller.
The Blades will be looking to follow that success up with another victory on Saturday against an out-of-sorts Norwich side, who have just three points to show from their four league assignments so far.
Team news
Sheffield United remain without injured quartet Femi Seriki, Harrison Burrows, Tahith Chong and Ryan One.
The Blades landed defender Liam Kitching on loan from Coventry on deadline day and he could make his debut.
Norwich have an injured quartet of their own with Mirko Topic, Lucien Mahovo, Ali Ahmed and Jovon Makama all unavailable, while midfielder Paris Maghoma is rated as a doubt and seems unlikely to be involved having missed the last four games.

Prediction
Sheffield United have endured a mixed start to the new season after drawing their opening three Championship games, but their midweek win over Bolton could prove to be a turning point.
The Blades twice battled back from behind to draw level before stealing the three points with a late winner. It may not have been a great performance overall, but they did show real resolve to stay in contention and equalised quickly on both occasions when they fell behind before finding a way to get over the line.
United can follow that up with another three points against Norwich, who have made a disappointing start to the new campaign and have particularly struggled on the road.
The Canaries have lost both of their Championship trips without scoring but can at least grab a consolation strike at Bramall Lane as the Blades have shipped five goals across their last three games.
Norwich were also incredibly unlucky to draw a blank in a 1-0 defeat at Stoke having recorded an xG of 1.44, registering six shots on target, so they can contribute in South Yorkshire even if they are unable to add to their points total.
Sheffield United forward Patrick Bamford scored his first league goal of the season against Bolton and now has two strikes in five games across all competitions. He looks the best bet for an anytime effort.
Norwich midfielder Kenny McLean has two yellow cards in five games across all competitions and has committed a total of four fouls in his last two league appearances, so he stands out as a candidate to be shown a card.
Score prediction: Sheffield United 2-1 Norwich
