Sheffield United take a trip to Carrow Road to face Norwich City in round 39 of the EFL Championship on Saturday.
The Canaries will be looking to end their six-game winless run against the visitors and resume their quest for a place in the playoffs.
Norwich City failed to find their feet in their last outing before the international break as they were held to a goalless draw by Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium. The Canaries have now gone three consecutive games without a win, picking up two draws and losing once since a 3-2 win at Millwall on March 4.
With 57 points from 38 matches, Norwich City are currently seventh in the EFL Championship table, three points adrift of the playoffs places.
Sheffield United, on the other hand, booked their place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup last time out as they secured a pulsating 3-2 win over Blackburn Rovers at Bramall Lane.
The Blades will now return to action in the Championship, where they have won two of their last three matches, with a 1-0 loss against Luton Town on March 11 being the exception. With 70 points from 37 games, Sheffield United are currently second in the league table, three points above third-placed Middlesbrough outside the automatic promotion spot.
