Wolverhampton Wanderers will be looking to carry their recent good form into the FA Cup but face a resurgent Norwich City in this fourth-round clash. The Canaries have shown some good form of late but Molineux remains a fortress for Wolves, who will be confident of gaining the upper hand on Saturday.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are one of the most in-form teams in the Premier League at the moment and are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions. They have claimed five wins in that run, including a 3-0 victory over Sheffield United in the FA Cup third round.
Wolves’ last outing prior to the international break saw them pick up a 2-1 win in the Premier League over Brentford with Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho getting the goals.
Home form has been pivotal to Wolverhampton Wanderers’ recent rise, they have suffered just one defeat in their last eight matches at Molineux. They have won the last two matches in that run with a 3-1 victory over Southampton following the triumph over Sheffield United.
Norwich City have looked a different side in recent weeks, winning three of their last four matches across all competitions. They are finally off the foot of the Premier League table and will be looking to build their confidence with a Cup win.
The Canaries reached the fourth round of the FA Cup after claiming a 1-0 victory at Charlton Athletic with Milot Rashica getting the goal. They head into Saturday’s clash off the back of consecutive wins, including a 3-0 victory at Watford with Josh Sargent netting a brace.
One problem that still persists for Norwich City is their poor record on the road having suffered three defeats in their last five away matches. They also remain unconvincing at the back and have kept just two clean sheets in their last 10 matches across all competitions.
