Norwich City host Wolves at Carrow Road in the Premier League on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
After their terrible start to the season, Norwich have won two games on the trot and have lifted themselves off the bottom of the table. Dean Smith's side are currently 19th in the table, three points away from safety. They will hope to continue their strong form against Wolves.
Wolves, on the other hand, have been in great form of late. Bruno Lage's side are currently in sixth position, one point off the top five. They will aim to pick up all three points against Norwich on Saturday.
With both sides in good form of late, Saturday's fixture is sure to be a well-contested matchup.

Norwich City vs Wolves Prediction
Despite Norwich City's recent uptick in form, it's hard to see them picking up any points against Wolves on Saturday.
Dean Smith will take a relatively full-strength side into Saturday's game, with Christoph Zimmerman being the only absentee due to injury.
Wolves will also have a fairly strong side, with no regular first-team players missing for Bruno Lage's side. Yerson Mosquera, Hugo Bueno, Pedro Neto and Jonny are all still unavailable due to injury.
Wolves should have enough firepower upfront to get past Norwich on Saturday. We predict a high-tempo game with Wolves coming out on top.
Prediction: Norwich City 1-2 Wolves
