Last meeting:
Norwich City 0, Wolves 1 (January 30, 2007): Norwich City somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as they slumped to an embarrassing defeat. Wolves ended with only nine men – but that was only half the story of a game which City dominated for long spells without managing to find a way past keeper Matt Murray. Chance upon chance went begging as City threw everything bar the kitchen sink at Wolves. In the end it took a goal early in the second half by Michael Kightly to settle the issue. Full Match Report

Last Norwich away win: 13/09/1995 Wolves 0, Norwich 2 (Johnson, Ward)


Chances: Mick McCarthy’s men surpassed all expectations last campaign with a very young squad built almost from scratch. Now following a takeover by millionaire businessman Steve Morgan the former Ireland boss has cash to spend and has boosted his firepower with the signings of Freddy Eastwood and Stephen Elliott and added more pace to his side with the acquisition of highly-rated winger Matt Jarvis.
Prediction: 5th
