Norwich City look to try and end their run of bad form in the Championship as they head to Bramall Lane to face Sheffield United. The Canaries’ season has defied expectations for all the wrong reasons as they have only found one win in the league this season against fellow strugglers Burnley. The away side are down in the dumps from their previous result against Stoke City, which gave the Potters their first win of the season. A 1-0 loss away from home gave Norwich their third loss of the season as Phillipe Clement looks to find answers to his side’s form. Sheffield United are yet to record a defeat in the league. However, the Blades have also struggled to win their matches, with 3 draws in the league so far out of four games. It was a close affair for the Yorkshire side in their last match against Bolton Wanderers, where it took them until the 93rd minute to edge out their first win of the season. Brentford loanee Romelle Donovan was the one to clinch a first win at Bramall Lane of the season. The Canaries will be without Liam Gibbs and Amankwah Forson, who have both found loan moves out of the club. However, no new injury concerns approach Clement’s desk, with the likes of Paris Maghoma being a possibility to be in the matchday squad. The Blades also come in with no fresh injury concerns, although it will be their first match without midfielder Callum O’Hare after his transfer to Wrexham. Femi Seriki and Tahith Chong are unlikely to be involved with the first team in this fixture, and Ryan One is unlikely to make the bench. It will be a return to Sheffield for new Norwich winger Andre Brooks, who joined the Yellows in the summer. The Blades’ academy graduate has had a decent start for his new club, scoring twice in their only win of the season, but will be looking to dull the defence of Chris Wilder’s side. For the home side, it is the former Norwich player Sam McCallum to come into good form to start the season off. The left-back has been a staple at the club since his transfer in 2024 and now looks to punish his former side even further and add another loss to the Canaries’ tally. A win here could see Sheffield United move into the top six depending on results elsewhere as Chris Wilder looks to beat Norwich for the first time since January 2025. For the Yellows, a loss in this fixture could see them move into the bottom three for the first time since Liam Manning’s departure last season if results don’t go their way. Clement is still yet to lose against Chris Wilder, with one draw and a win under the Belgian’s belt.
