Norwich boss Glenn Roeder has centre-half Gary Doherty back as he seeks a win at Sheffield United to arrest the Canaries' recent slump in form.Doherty missed the 1-0 defeat at home to Stoke in midweek through suspension after his red card at Coventry but should come straight back into the side replacing either Jason Shackell or Alex Pearce.

Darel Russell serves the second of a two-match ban after he too was sent off at the Ricoh Arena so captain Mark Fotheringham will again be partnered by Matthew Pattison at Bramall Lane.

Striker Jamie Cureton came under fire from Roeder after an incredible late miss against the Potters so Ched Evans could return alongside Dion Dublin.

Forward Darren Huckerby should be on the bench after his groin injury with left-back Adam Drury (knee) and Luke Chadwick (shoulder) long-term absentees.

Roeder's side have taken just one point from the last 12 to slip to 18th place.
