Norwich City boss Philippe Clement offered consolatory words to Sheffield Wednesday counterpart Henrik Pedersen ahead of the meeting of the two teams at Carrow Road on Wednesday night. The Owls' relegation was confirmed by defeat in the Steel City derby last weekend and they have now lost 10 games in a row. Clement confirmed, however, that Wednesday's predicament would have no bearing on Norwich's preparations for the game as they look to bounce back from a home loss to Birmingham City. "For me, motivationally, there's no difference between playing against Sheffield Wednesday or Coventry or Barcelona," the Belgian said. "It's about winning, and it's about giving everything to win this game as a team together."
