Wolves came from behind to beat Norwich 2-1 the last time these two sides met at Carrow Road, with Raul Jimenez and Romain Saiss securing the victory for the away side.

We spoke to Chris Reeve from Talk Norwich City to see if he thinks Wolves can continue their top six push with back-to-back victories against The Canaries.

Wolves should have been dead and buried by half time in their last meeting, but that's been the story of Norwich's season hasn't it?

We were desperately unlucky. That Wolves game was a damning result and put a nail in our coffin.

We absolutely dominated, we really were the better team.

But what was evident is the sheer quality that Wolves have got going forwards.

I've been so impressed with Wolves this season. The amount of games they've played, the quality and bringing through young players.

I of course, am a big Jon Ruddy and Ryan Bennett fan. I really respect Wolves.

Can you see a miraculous survival run being put together by Norwich?

Wouldn't that be fantastic! I really am such a proud Norwich fan this season. I love that we've started our young players. We've stuck to our philosophy.

For Norwich now, it's bigger picture stuff. It's about more than just the short term.

The game against Wolves at the weekend is enormous for Norwich. It's a game that the lads won't fear as we play at lot better away from home.

I'm super confident that we get can results from our upcoming fixtures. I'm confident that we'll get some more wins on the board, and who knows.

Who are the danger men for Wolves to watch out for?

Definitely Todd Cantwell if you can mark him out of the game, that's a serious outlet you can stop. He is the man to watch right now.

Emi Buendía is a real talent to watch out for.

Also our defenders, Christoph Zimmermann, Max Aarons, Jamal Lewis bombing down the wing as well. There's danger from both flanks.

Who do you think will line up for Norwich?

Tim Krul will be between the sticks, he had a phenomenal performance against Liverpool recently.

Ben Godfrey will probably come back into the mix, you'll see Jamal Lewis at left back.

Grant Hanley will be at centre-half.

Midfield could be anything really, but I have no doubt that you'll see Todd Cantwell starting. And you'll probably see Ondrej Duda who we've just signed from Hoffenheim.

Of course, Teemu Pukki will start up front.

You'll see a Norwich side that will take the game to Wolves, they certainly won't sit back and defend.

However, it will give Wolves the opportunities to punish us on the break.

Prediction?

I'm going to try and be positive from a Norwich point of view and say that we will botch a lucky 1-0 win.

But, my head says 2-1 Wolves.
