Norwich City<\/a> head to inform Sheffield United<\/a> in midweek as they look to return to winning ways.<\/p>\n

Norwich City<\/a> have had a turbulent start to this season. The Canaries came into the year with a new boss in the form of Liam Manning, but his spell did not last long as he was sacked 15 games into the season following a 2-1 defeat to Leicester City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

NCFC appointed Phillipe Clement as his replacement<\/a>, and after three games, he secured his first win as boss. His side beat QPR<\/a> 3-1 in what was just Norwich City<\/a>\u2019s third win of the campaign.<\/p>\n

However, they failed to back that up last time out as they were beaten 3-2 by Watford<\/a>. NCFC led the game twice yet still came away with nothing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their opponents in midweek Sheffield United<\/a> had endured a very similar start to the year. Much like Norwich City<\/a>, SUFC had started the year with a new boss, but he has already been replaced.<\/p>\n

The Blades started the year under Ruben Selles\u2019 guidance, but now Chris Wilder has returned once again<\/a>. Wilder\u2019s return did not ignite as expected right away, but now Sheffield United<\/a> are looking like a real force.<\/p>\n

SUFC have won their last four games, propelling them out of the relegation zone. Wilder\u2019s side are now eight points away from the play-off places and have them in their sights as January approaches<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here, a handful of our writers make their predictions for the game\u2026<\/p>\n

Charlie Hodgson<\/p>\n

\u201cNorwich City<\/a> will be so disappointed to come away with no points last weekend. The Canaries have had a very poor season and need to come up with improvements soon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSheffield United<\/a> have found those improvements in recent weeks. Their last few performances have been superb and they do not look like slowing up anytime soon under Wilder.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith that said, I can only see Sheffield United<\/a> taking the win here. SUFC will want to make Bramall Lane a fortress as the season goes on and I can\u2019t see NCFC having the answers to an inform side.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prediction: Sheffield United<\/a> 3-0 Norwich City<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

James Ray<\/p>\n

\u201cSheffield United<\/a> are taking big strides in the right direction now. Four wins from four and 13 goals scored in that time, SUFC are on the rise.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t help but feel they\u2019ll be really confident of their chances here too. Norwich City<\/a> have shown some improvements under Clement but they lost at the weekend and I feel they\u2019ll struggle here.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Blades are showing some long-awaited killer instinct in attack, and I think they\u2019ll punish a Canaries side that will give them chances. I\u2019m saying this ends in a 3-1 home win.\u201d<\/p>\n
