History of the Sheffield Wednesday v Norwich City fixture

Sheff. Wed. prepare to entertain Norwich City at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The The Owls are clearly on top, having won 13 and lost only 4 of the 23 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Hillsborough was less than a year ago, in May 2008, when they eased past their opponents in a high-scoring 4-1 thriller, in a Championship match.
