With their 19 point advantage in the league table, Sheffield United fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Norwich City.

The story so far in the Premier League for Sheffield United at their home stadium (Bramall Lane) is 6 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats.

Manager C. Wilder felt very clever after Billy Sharp scored the winning goal against Reading (after extra-time), having brought on that player as a substitute in the 79th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Billy Sharp scored the winning goal two minutes into stoppage time.
