Wolves: 11/10
Norwich: 5/2
Draw: 12/5
With Wolves drifting down towards the bottom of the table and Norwich defying expectations of many, bar the amount of goals they are conceding, this match has an interesting feel.
After a very cheerful start, it’s just two wins in 14 games for Wolves, with manager Mick McCarthy insisting they have effectively made just one real summer signing in centre half Roger Johnson. Steven Fletcher has been scoring goals, but defensively they look fragile, and Stoke demonstrated the limits to their attacking prowess by throttling Matt Jarvis. Norwich though, are a more open side who may offer them more space to play. David Edwards and Jamie O’Hara remain sidelined, depriving Wolves of important midfield drive.
Norwich seem to have gone for last season’s Blackpool formula, of firstly buying up hungry players like Anthony Pilkington from Huddersfield and Millwall’s Steve Morison – and then seemingly attacking cheerfully and accepting they will concede. The Canaries haven’t kept a clean sheet yet but have been finding ways to win against sides with more impressive squads – on paper at least. They are set to stick with the same side that wasn’t too far from picking up a win at Everton.
