Pick of the stats: Sheffield United v Norwich City
[BBC] Sheffield United have yet to lose in the Championship this season and will be hoping to keep up their momentum as they welcome a faltering Norwich City on Saturday (15:00 BST). The Blades registered the first win of their campaign after beating Bolton Wanderers on Tuesday following a trio of draws. Norwich though lost a third league match of the season against Stoke City, with just one win to their name so far. Sheffield United are unbeaten in five home league games against Norwich (W3 D2) since a 0-1 defeat in September 2017. Norwich's 2-1 win over Sheffield United in March ended a 10-game winless run against the Blades in league competition (D4 L6). Sheffield United remain unbeaten across their opening four league games of a campaign (W1 D3) for the second time in three seasons. Before then, the Blades hadn't completed that feat since 2012-13 in the third tier. Norwich have lost as many as three of their first four games of a league season outside of the Premier League for the first time since 2000-01 in the second tier (also 3). Norwich's Championship games this season have produced an xG of 13.9 (7.7 for, 6.2 against), the highest of any side. [BBC]
