Norwich City – Gillingham

The Canaries made a great victory in the previous round, beating Charlton away 1-0. Now, need just one point to be League One champions. Carrow Road has been sold out, players will get the medals and trophy after the game (if they draw at least, of course). Norwich are the best home side in the league, noticed 16 wins of 21 home games with impressive goal difference 46-20. Midfielder Wes Hoolahan is injured and will probably miss the game, but skipper and top goal scorer Grant Holt (24 goals) returns after serving a two-game ban. Boss Paul Lambert got one match touchline ban.

Gillingham made a first class surprise defeating Leeds last Saturday, scored three times for the first half an our (3-2 at the end). They made a distance from a relegation line (3 points with 3 rounds left) and can play with little less pressure. Good thing is in last two rounds, they’ll host the Saints (who gave up from play-off) and will visit Wycombe (will probably relegate till then) at the last day. So, they have very good chance to stay in the league. On the other hand, they’re the worst travelers in the third tier, noticed just six points (six draws) of 21 games on the road with shocking goal difference 13-44 and didn’t score in six of last seven! Skipper Barry Fuller faces surgery to repair a broken nose and is likely to miss out, defender Gowling serves the suspension and another defender Richards with a broken toe is long-term absentee.

Norwich is top class team, now finally can play without any sign of pressure and I expect a very good game from them. The Gills are simply too poor to spoil the celebration. Intention to maybe snitch a one point will probably bring them few more goals conceded. Bet is -1.25ah at 1.93, Pinnacle.

Norwich 0-1 Sheff Wed

Jermaine Johnson's deflected shot earned a deserved away victory for Sheffield Wednesday and left Norwich a point clear of the relegation zone. 
The Owls took the lead when Johnson's strike deflected off defender Jon Otsemobor early in the second half. 
An anxious Carrow Road crowd saw David Mooney's 84th-minute equaliser ruled out after a foul in the build-up. 
But Wednesday clung on for the three points after defender Tommy Spurr was sent off for his second yellow card. 

Norwich manager Bryan Gunn: 
"To be honest we didn't play well in the first half, while at the same time Sheffield Wednesday played some relaxed football. 
"After the break I didn't think there was much in it but unfortunately they've had a shot which has taken a deflection to beat our goalkeeper. 
"There was no ranting and raving in the dressing room afterwards, because we need the players to believe that we can get enough points between now and the end of the season to ensure our safety." 

Sheffield Wednesday boss Brian Laws: 
"I don't think anyone would disagree that we deserved to win. 
"We have been exceptionally good in our last four away games and deserved to win all of them in my opinion. 
"Today was no different and this time we got our just rewards. We dominated the first half, passed and moved really well and had 10 strikes on goal."
