It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald. While pleased to see Chris Wilder single out his front three for praise following the Canaries’ impressive victory in the Steel City, Philippe Clement insists the trio are only getting started. The Blades boss hailed Andre Brooks, Anthony Musaba and Mo Toure as “possibly the best front three or one of the best in the division” following Saturday’s clash at Bramall Lane. With Mathias Kvistgaarden, Ante Crnac and Papa Amadou Diallo all contributing positively as well, and competition for places set to increase further when Jovon Makama returns, the Belgian faces a real selection headache in the games ahead. “Yeah, for sure. I'm really pleased about that (comment from Wilder) because they're just in the building. Okay, Mo (Toure) a little bit longer,” Clement told the EFL show on Sky Sports. “But before now, this was his first week in his career that he played three games in a row without having an injury. Most of the time, he never had this consistent schedule in the past, so we're still building him to become a player like that in the Championship.

With (Anthony) Musaba, a little bit more, but he didn't have a pre-season with us, so they're not at their full potential yet. “We have players at the moment who stay behind them now, but who will be good competitors with them in those positions. “And that's what we're going to need this season: a lot of competition in the squad, and that we can make rotation and, like this, keep a high level in every three-day game. So that's going to be crucial to create freshness in the squad, also to have rotation.” Wednesday night’s clash with unbeaten Birmingham City presents another tricky test for the Norwich boss and his players, but one Clement is relishing. “Yeah, I've watched their full game against Wolves. Of course, they have a clear style of playing at Birmingham. It's clear what they want.

Last season we lost both games against them, so it's a challenge for our team to step up and show our best face.”
