Wolverhampton Wanderers Preview – Will Wolves make it five wins in a row?
Bruno Lage is enjoying a fine first season at Molineux after taking over from the popular Nuno Espirito Santo last summer. Lage had a shaky start, but Wolves have grown into the season and turned themselves into genuine European contenders.
Since back-to-back 1-0 league defeats to heavyweights to Liverpool and Manchester City in early December, Wanderers are unbeaten in six in all competitions. The Midlands club have gone on to win five and draw one, easing to a 3-0 home victory over Sheffield United in the previous round of the FA Cup.
Lage’s troops will be on the search for a fifth straight league and cup victory this Saturday. As you would expect, they are the bookies’ favourites at 13/20.
Norwich City Preview – Can the Canaries keep up recent revival with a cup win?
Dean Smith have given Norwich City a new lease of life, and the Canaries moved out of the Premier League’s bottom three after the recent round of fixtures. Since taking over at Carrow Road, Smith has guided City to vital league victories over Southampton, Everton and Watford.
Norwich have picked up three wins from their past four league and cup matches. In the Premier League, the Canaries have secured much-needed back-to-back wins over Everton and Watford. At the start of the year, the Norfolk club won 1-0 at Charlton Athletic in the third round in the cup.

They have not squared off in the FA Cup since the 1979-80 season. After a 1-1 draw in the Midlands, Wolves won a replay in Norfolk to go through.
