After a Premier League game against Leicester City followed by a Europa League clash with Espanyol, Molineux is once again the venue for more football action with Norwich City being the visitors on this occasion.
The Canaries’ bottom of the league position belies the style and quality of their football and Head Coach, Daniel Farke was justifiably disappointed not to get a point after their impressive performance against Liverpool at Carrow Road last Saturday.
Wolves’ game against Leicester on Friday was once again overshadowed by VAR controversy. For the fifth time this season, Wolves had a goal chalked off with, once again, defender Willy Boly being the disappointed goal scorer.
Wolves go into this game on the back of a midweek Europa League 4-0 victory over Spanish side RCD Espanyol, the goals coming from Diogo Jota (his second hat-trick in successive Europa League matches) and a classic Ruben Neves strike to the top corner from outside the area.
With high flying Sheffield United at home to 15th placed Brighton on Saturday and Manchester United at home to second bottom Watford, A win here for Wolves will be unlikely to lift them above their present 8th place in the table but would help to maintain the gap between themselves and the chasing pack of Everton, Arsenal and Burnley.
Gem’s prediction: 2-0

Norwich’s first choice centre back Zimmerman has a hamstring injury and will miss the game at Molineux. With other players out with long term injuries they only have two fit centre backs, Hanley and Godfrey. They have only played as their centre backs together three times this season, way back towards the start of the season. Norwich conceded 8 in those three games

There was one amazing moment in the Espanyol game that went largely unnoticed. Neves played in Jimenez on the right and then sprinted into the Espanyol area for the return ball but Raul’s pass was blocked
It was the first time Neves had been seen in the opponents area since before the war. Hopefully the nose bleed won’t keep him out of Sunday’s game

Not quite true DJ, he ghosted in to the corner of the box during the Leicester game too, ball was played towards him before he realised where he was and dummied his header and let it run through to someone else.

Another fine day for VAR by the sound of it. A red card decision looked at, no red given(not seen incident personally). VAR chiefs coming out mid game saying it was an error and should have been red

Burnley’s good run of form has taken them up to 8th and relegated us down to 9th tonight. But Spurs and Sheffield Utd slipped up and missed the chance to pull further ahead of us.
A win tomorrow would put us back ahead of Burnley and within one point of Spurs and the Blades. And next week we go to Spurs who look very beatable without Kane, Son and Eriksen.

Following Leganes losing today, our friends Espanyol can move off the bottom of the table in Spain tomorrow if they avoid defeat at Valladolid

Just realised that next Sunday we play at Spurs at 14:00 then just a few miles away at Wembley at 16:30 is the Carabao Cup Final between Villa and Man City. A lot of football fans arriving in the capital from the same direction that day. Fortunately we’ll be getting the train back while the other game is going on
