History of the Sheffield Wednesday v Norwich City fixture

Sheff. Wed. prepare to entertain Norwich City at Hillsborough on Sunday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Owls are clearly on top, having won 12 and lost only 4 of the 22 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Hillsborough was less than a year ago, in May 2007, as the The Owls squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 3-2 in a Championship match.
