Andy Francis has the best bets, a score prediction and the head-to-head record for this Championship clash below.

Premium Tips

Andy narrowly favours Sheffield United, with goals also on the agenda.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Mo Toure and Patrick Bamford to score anytime17/2Both are proven, in-form scorers. Toure has been electric for Norwich with 13 goals in 17 appearances, while Bamford is a prolific Championship marksman, with 15 goals in 34 games for Sheffield United in the sample on top of 56 in his Leeds days. Norwich’s leaky start, seven conceded in four, gives Bamford a clear opening at home, and Toure’s scoring rate makes him a constant threat.
Kalvin Phillips and Harry Darling to be booked35/4Darling is the strong leg here: a booking-prone Norwich centre-back with eight yellow cards in the sample, exactly the profile referees punish. Phillips adds the combative angle as a Sheffield United holding midfielder who has picked up cards, including a red, in recent times.

How Sheffield United go into the game

Sheffield United won a 3-2 thriller with Bolton last time out, an entertaining if leaky win. Bramall Lane will hope for more of the goals, fewer of the nerves.

Dangerous going forward, Sheffield United will fancy their chances at home. Tightening up at the back is the aim.

How Norwich go into the game

Norwich were beaten 1-0 at Stoke last time out, a narrow away defeat. They travel to Bramall Lane needing a response.

Well-organised and dangerous on their day, Norwich will back themselves. A first away win would be timely.
