Sheffield Utd boss Wilder: Norwich an inspiration after Man City shock

Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder says Norwich City can act as an inspiration.

Fellow newly-promoted side Norwich earned a surprise 3-2 victory over Manchester City at Carrow Road last weekend.

"When the likes of Norwich beat Manchester City and other results happen it does give you a load of confidence that we can go anywhere and get a result," Wilder said.

"I've always been straight in my opinion of my team, my players and opposition players, we have more than held our own in terms of the play and we have to tighten up in certain areas and not give daft goals away and put teams to bed.

"The thing that people would have thought we would struggle with, competing and playing the way we do - I don't think we have.

"The stats back that up, the chances created would back that up. I am delighted with the players and we have to keep going, we have had two great away results and we are looking to get another one on Saturday."
