Norwich City host Sheffield United in their third game of the new Championship season. They begin the weekend down in 19th position with their opponents five places above them. Can the Canaries get their first win? Here's our match prediction.
City have only one point from their first two league games of the new season. They finished sixth in the Championship last term but were beaten by Leeds United 4-0 on aggregate in the play-off semi-finals. City ended last season poorly and that's continued this time around.
They come into this match having gone seven league/play-off games without a win. Their season got off to a disappointing start with a 2-0 loss at newly-promoted Oxford United. That was followed by a 2-2 home draw with Blackburn, conceding an 87th minute equalizer.
There has been a win over Stevenage in the Carabao Cup but that was a struggle too as they won 4-3. Their last four home Championship games have all ended level with three of them seeing both teams score. It's 17 league games since they lost at Carrow Road.
Sheffield United are only 14th in the table but they have had two points deducted. Without that they'd be fifth in the table as they've earned four points from their first two games. After a miserable season in the Premier League last term, they are more at home this season.
A 2-0 win at troubled Preston North End got teir season off to a good start. Then they went 2-0 up in 13 minutes at home against QPR last Saturday but ended up drawing 2-2. They also beat Wrexham 4-2 in the Carabao Cup after trailing 1-0.
We go for both teams to score in this match.

Our Norwich vs Sheffield United Prediction
It's very early days but Norwich City will want to build some momentum after a poor start to the season. They only have a single point so far but so nearly beat Blackburn Rovers at home in their last game and have a good record at Carrow Road.
Sheffield United have made a good start to life back in the Championship. They're probably still kicking themselves after letting slip a two-goal lead against QPR last Saturday. Our Norwich City v Sheffield United prediction is both teams to score.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
