Match preview

Norwich won their final game under Daniel Farke, away to Brentford, and the first match of Dean Smith's reign, at home to Southampton, but their mini-revival could be cut short by in-form visitors Wolves.

Bruno Lage has already got the better of Smith once this season, when Wolves scored three times in the last ten minutes to beat Aston Villa 3-2, and he should be confident of taking another three points at Carrow Road.

After a slow start, Wolves have clicked into gear with five wins in their last seven Premier League matches and last weekend's 1-0 home victory over West Ham was their first success against a top-half team.

Norwich lost the shots battle 19-9 at Brentford and 17-8 against Saints last time out, despite winning both games, and they have lost at home to fellow strugglers Watford and Leeds this season so may find the going tough against opponents of the calibre of Wolves.

Key stat

Wolves have won five of their last seven Premier League matches.
