Making his weekly prediction for BBC Sport, broadcaster Mark Lawrenson backed the Blades to triumph over the Canaries, suggesting a 2-0 scoreline.

Justifying his selection, the 62-year-old claimed: "Norwich have had a good week, beating Leicester in the league then getting past Tottenham in the FA Cup. It shows the Canaries are still fighting and will give them confidence too."

"I am sure Norwich will give it another good go at Bramall Lane to try and make it three wins in a row, but I just don't see them going to Sheffield United and getting anything."

He continued: "The Blades have already beaten them once this season - when they fought back from a goal down to win at Carrow Road before Christmas.

"Chris Wilder's side are well organised, hard to break down and dangerous going forward and I am backing them to win again, and do the double."

Meanwhile, Lawro's opponent for the week, singer Tom Grennan, backed a 1-0 win for the visitors. He said: "Norwich keeper Tim Krul did so well in the shootout against Spurs - did you see his bottle with all their penalties written on it? I think they might win this one too."

The Blades are unbeaten in their last four matches against the Norfolk side, and will be hopeful of securing another three points to consolidate their push for Champions League qualification.
