Sheffield United vs Norwich Prediction: Both teams expected to score

Sheffield United will lock horns with Norwich at Bramall Lane on Saturday. The hosts are unbeaten in their last eight games against Norwich. Can they continue this run? Below, I have the team news, possible starting 11, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds.

Sheffield United

WLDLW

Sheffield United bowed out of the FA Cup in their last game, losing 1-0 against Cardiff City. They now return to the league, where they secured a 2-1 win over Watford in their last game. The Blades have won one of their previous five games in all competitions and are winless in their last three games at home. They sit third on the table with 52 points in 26 games, scoring 36 goals and conceding 17. However, Vinicius Souza, Harry Souttar, Tyrese Campbell, Gustavo Hamer, Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, Femi Seriki and Oliver Arblaster are out of this game due to injuries, while Kieffer Moore is doubtful due to illness.

Norwich

LWDWW

Norwich were dumped out of the FA Cup, losing 4-0 to Brighton in their last game. They now shift their focus back to the Championship, where they defeated Coventry City 2-1 in their previous game. Milan van Ewijk put Coventry ahead in the 24th minute of the game, and it looked like they were running away with the win until second-half substitute Amankwah Forson scored two goals in the 90+1st and 90+5th minutes of the game. The Canaries are unbeaten in their last four games but have managed only one win in their previous nine away games. They sit 11th on the table with 36 points in 26 games, scoring 43 goals and conceding 37. However, Josh Sargent, Matej Jurasek, Grant Hanley, Anis Ben Slimane, Christian Fassnacht, Liam Gibbs, and Gabe Forsyth are also ruled out due to injuries.
