Preview: Sheffield Wednesday vs. Norwich City

Sports Mole previews the Championship clash between Norwich City and Sheffield Wednesday, who are both struggling for form.

Norwich City will be hoping that they can move back up the Championship table when they travel to Hillsborough to face Sheffield Wednesday this weekend.

A run of four matches without a win, including a 1-1 draw with Leeds United earlier this week, has seen the Canaries slip from the top of the table down to fifth, four points behind new leaders Derby County.

Neil Adams will have to cope without Wes Hoolahan, as he has been ruled out until the end of the year with an ankle ligament injury.

Jos Hooiveld missed the trip to Elland Road earlier this week after picking up a knock in training, but he is in contention to feature this weekend.

Meanwhile, the Owls will be looking for their first win in five matches on Saturday, a run which has seen them slip to 13th in the table.

The team were held to a goalless draw when they played Brentford earlier this week, leaving them with their third stalemate in four outings.

Stuart Gray will be without Sam Hutchinson for this match, as the midfielder was forced out of their defeat to Watford last weekend, and is expected to miss the next two months.

There are no other new injury concerns for the Sheffield side, who won both of their league matches against Norwich last time they were in the same division.
