Emi Buendia has returned to Norwich City’s starting line-up for this afternoon’s Carrow Road clash with Sheffield United, with Mario Vrancic making his first Premier League start as well, as Daniel Farke makes three changes.
Buendia has featured as a substitute in the last three Premier League games but returns in place of Todd Cantwell, who drops to the bench, while Alex Tettey and Mario Vrancic replace Tom Trybull and Ibrahim Amadou in midfield.
