Carrow Road — Norwich, Norfolk
Norwich
Norwich have no new absentees since the loss at Newcastle last week, but
are likely to make a few changes, as a home game against Wolves is a
vastly different prospect to an away trip to the north-east.
Grant Holt could start up front as Paul Lambert reverts to a 4-4-2, though Simeon Jackson is also in contention.
probable lineups : Ruddy, Drury, Ward, Whitbread, Naughton, Pilkington, Surman, Hoolahan, Bennett, Morison, Holt. (4-4-2).

Wolverhampton
Wolves are still without Karl Henry, who misses out again with a hamstring strain. Nenad Milijas is a doubt but may get the nod over youngster David Davis,
who is yet more unlikely to play due to a rib injury. However, Kightly
could play on the right either way. Ronald Zubar serves his one match suspension after his sending off against Manchester United last week.
probable lineups : Hennessey, Stearman, Johnson, Bassong, Ward, Kightly, Edwards, Foley, Jarvis, Doyle, Fletcher. (4-4-2).

Prediction
Wolves are in disarray, and while things were not going right under Mick
McCarthy, and may fans agreed his sacking was the right decision, they
look even worse off without him. A 5-0 drubbing at the hands of
Manchester United the latest of their losses, and something of an
embarrassment for the midlands club.
Norwich have been on a bad run of late, losing 3 and drawing 1 of their
last 4, and while they remain a safe 13 points above the relegation
zone, Paul Lambert will know they have a great chance to pick up 3
points here and go a long way to securing their Premier League status
for another season. They have been immensely impressive this year and
will not want to risk getting sucked into a relegation battle, however
unlikely it may seem.
Wolves need to turn things around, and soon, but Carrow Road has proved a
difficult place to go to for many teams this season and while Wolves
will give it a good go in what will undoubtedly be a tight affair,
Norwich should triumph.
Norwich 1 - 1 Wolverhampton
