Prediction: 2-0
Sheffield Wednesday
Following a goalless draw with Preston, Norwich City will look to move closer to the playoffs berth when they take on relegation strugglers Sheffield Wednesday on Matchday 21. The Canaries have been having their ups and downs of late and, no doubt, they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to return to the Premier League. All Ui-Jo Hwang, Ben Gibson, Josh Sargent, Jakob Sorensen, and Grant Hanley are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Owls, on the other hand, have been showing signs of improvement of late, with the team beating both Blackburn Rovers and Stoke City and no doubt, the back-to-back wins gave them a confidence boost. Sheffield Wednesday, though, have already suffered eight defeats on the road this season and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Norwich’s party at Carrow Road. All Mallik Wilks, Dominic Iorfa, and Mohamed Diaby miss out with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Reece James):
Reece James is a talented Chelsea defender who plays for Wigan Athletic on loan. Born in Redbridge, England on December 8, 1999, James started his youth career at Chelsea football academy at the age of 6. The talented teenager played for England U18 and U19 teams and he currently represents the U20 team on the international stage.
Reece James scored 3 goals in 45 appearances for Wigan in the 2018/2019 Championship campaign, but that did not help the Latics avoid relegation to the League One. His numbers from the 2018/2019 season are impressive as he completed 91 successful tackles, 54 blocks, 44 successful dribbles and 93 clearances.
James, on the other hand, has yet to find the net for the England U20 national team. His main position is right back, but he is capable of playing as both centre-back and defensive midfielder as well. Reece James turned professional in March 2017.
Highlighted Team (Norwich):
After spending only one season in the Premier League, Norwich City dropped to the Championship at the end of the 2015/2016 campaign. Norwich City are located in Norwich, Norfolk and they welcome their rivals at Carrow Road.
The stadium was built and opened in 1935 and the capacity of the venues is 27,137 (all-seater). However the stadium’s record attendance is 43,984. The Canaries have won two League Cup trophies (1973, 1975) and their main rivals are Ipswich Town. The two teams have been facing each other in the East Anglian Derby since 1902.
The colour of Norwich City’s home kit is yellow and green and that is the main reason why they are known as the Canaries. The likes of Kevin Keeland, Ian Culverhouse, Steve Bruce, Duncan Forbes, Mark Bowen, Darren Huckerby, Ian Crook, Martin Peters, Darren Eadier, Chris Sutton and Iwan Roberts are notable footballers who played for the Carrow Road outfit in the past.
