NOR vs SHF Dream11 Match Prediction: Norwich City will be playing hosts to Sheffield United as they make an attempt to move away from the bottom half of the Premier League table. The Canaries currently occupy the 19th spot with just 11 points on board. Daniel Farke’s men have managed to just string three wins this season against the likes of Newcastle, Everton and a massive one against Manchester City.
Meanwhile, Sheffield United finds itself 9th in the league with 19 points and have been struggling to find form in their recent performances. From the last five games, the Blades have won just one while drawing three and losing their most recent fixture against Newcastle United. Chris Wilder will also be desperate for a win in order to restore that lost momentum which Sheffield had during the start of the season.
Match Details
Date- Sunday, December 8 | Kick-Off- 7:30 PM (IST) | Venue- Carrow Road
Norwich City
Timm Klose, Grant Hanley and Josip Drmic are all on the sidelines due to injuries. Alexander Tettey returned to the squad at midweek after missing out last weekend due to undisclosed reasons. Jamaal Lewis should be back in the starting lineup, while Emiliano Buendia and Marco Stipermann are also possible options for the hosts. Teemu Pukki’s demise in form has been a big worry lately as the Norwich faithful will be banking on him to get back to his best.
Sheffield United
The positive news for Chris Wilder is that none of his players are suffering from injury setbacks. Mousset and McGoldrick are likely to lead the line of attack. Baldock, Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck and Stevens could compile the midfield. Basham. Egan and O’Connell are likely to be the back three.
Norwich- T Krul; Lewis, Godfrey, Zimmerman, Aarons; Trybull, Tettey; Hernandez, McLean, Cantwell; Pukki
Sheffield United- Henderson; Basham, Egan, O’Connell; Baldock, Lundstram, Norwood, Fleck, Stevens; Mousset, McGoldrick
Teemu Pukki irrespective of his form should be the danger man in front of goal for Norwich City. The centre-forward has scored eight goals and has three assists from 15 appearances so far.
Lys Mousset while leading the attack should be the target man for Sheffield United. The Frenchman has five goals and three assists from 12 league games this season.
Grand League Tips
Todd Cantwell is another attacking perspective who can pack a punch from Norwich City’s end. The 21-year-old has four goals and two assists and a pass accuracy of 80% from 15 appearances this season.
John Lundstram has been pivotal in Sheffield’s midfield. The defensive midfielder has a pass accuracy of 85% and has three goals and an assist to his name from 15 games.
With both teams struggling to find form, the match might turn out to be a cagey affair. However, Sheffield United’s quality in midfield could just prove to be enough for Norwich as Wilder could nick a win.
