The league's second-placed side arrive at Molineux for what will be Wolves' first game on live television this season.

Wolves lost 2-1 at lowly Wigan on Tuesday night and Zenga said he was glad to have another game so soon.

"You have to restart and prepare for the next game," he said. "And against Norwich it's a big game, live on TV and you have a chance to transform these negative things into positive things.

"It's a very tough season and league. There is no surprise result...especially on Tuesday.

"As normal, we're looking for a reaction after game we haven't won.

"The fantastic thing is that you play three games a week so you don't have time to enjoy too much or be sad, or frustrated.

"Better that the next game is against one big team that fights for promotion than a team that everyone thinks will be easy.

"I prefer to be consistent, than all the time needing a loss to react, (but) I'm confident we are on the way to catch this kind of view."

Jon Dadi Bodvarsson and Joe Mason missed the defeat to the Latics with minor knocks. Zenga didn't rule with of them out of the clash with the Canaries.

"The lucky thing it we play tomorrow at 5.30pm, so from today we have more than 24 hours," he said on Friday.

"We'll see and we'll decide."

After 10 Championship league games Zenga has certainly embraced English football.

Has he been surprised by anything so far?

"From outside you can watch the Championship and think it's only physical, long ball, etc," he said. "This is not true.

"I find the coaches very ready in a tactical standpoint, in reading of the games.

"This is a positive surprise. Everyone outside thinks the Championship is only physical and it's not true at all.

"It's more interesting and more exciting than I imagine."
