Prediction

Whether that is down to their injuries crisis or probably tiredness issues supplied this frantic operate of fixtures, Sheffield Utd truly do require to find a way to end their slump for the reason that they had been wasteful in their midweek defeat at Coventry, in what was a scrappy effort by their specifications.
Norwich even so have not been substantially far better this month amidst their possess personal injury troubles with 3 consecutive defeats, although they just definitely lacked conclusion merchandise versus Luton in midweek even though defensive problems finally performed a portion much too.
The two teams therefore will have a issue to verify right here but if Norwich can type out their ultimate contact and slash out sloppy errors, I can see them having the edge in what could be a near match concerning two teams established to problem for the title for the reason that Utd do seem to be to be having difficulties at existing.
