ℹ️ Team News: Sheffield United

There’s just a single fitness concern for the Sheffield United gaffer Chris Wilder to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength group of players. Jamie Shackleton (Foot injury) is out of contention.

It looks as if The Blades may well opt for a 4-4-2 formation for the game, handing starts to Michael Cooper, Femi Seriki, Japhet Tanganga, Tyler Bindon, Harrison Burrows, Callum O'Hare, Sydie Peck, Jairo Riedewald, Gustavo Hamer, Patrick Bamford and Tyrese Campbell.

ℹ️ Team News: Norwich City

We’re of the thinking that The Canaries could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting Vladan Kovacevic, Tony Springett, Jakov Medic, Ruairi McConville, Kellen Fisher, Kenny McLean, Pelle Mattsson, Jovon Makama, Mathias Kvistgaarden, Oscar Schwartau and Josh Sargent.

🔮 Prediction

Our assessment is that Sheffield United can get a couple of goals in this one against Norwich City, who might well find it difficult scoring.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a decent 2-0 winning margin for Sheffield United come full-time.
