Preview: Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Norwich City

Sports Mole previews the Championship clash between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Norwich City.

Wolverhampton Wanderers will be hoping for a positive start to their return to the Championship when they host Norwich City on Sunday afternoon.

Kenny Jackett's side regained their spot in the second tier of English football by winning the League One title last season, and the club's head coach will be confident of pushing for a second successive promotion.

Striker Leon Clarke is expected to be fit after a minor knock, but midfielder Tommy Rowe misses out as he continues to recover from a foot injury.

Norwich City are back in the Championship after suffering relegation from the Premier League, but boss Neil Adams will be hopeful that his new signings can earn them an immediate return to the top flight.

Strike duo Lewis Grabban and Kyle Lafferty could start after moving to Carrow Road during the summer, but Gary O'Neil is suspended after being sent off when playing for Queens Park Rangers in last season's playoff final.

Midfielder Jonny Howson is sidelined after suffering knee ligament damage during the summer.
