Wolverhampton Wanderers host Norwich City in their FA Cup fourth round fixture on Saturday

FA Cup action returns for the fourth-round fixtures over the weekend as Wolves host fellow Premier League side Norwich City at the Molineux on Saturday.

It will be one of only three All-Premier League clashes at this stage of the competition, with the other two being contested between Everton and Brentford, and Tottenham and Brighton respectively.

The hosts cruised through in the previous round of fixtures, defeating Sheffield United 3-0 while Norwich booked a place in the fourth round with a 1-0 win over Charlton Athletic in January.

Wolves

There are a few injury concerns for the home side for the cup tie. Yerson Mosquera remains sidelined with a hamstring injury and Willy Boly is also expected to miss the game on account of a calf injury.

Pedro Neto and Jonny have resumed training but it remains to be seen whether they are fit in time for the game. Hwang Hee-chan, who signed for the club on a permanent basis last month, has also been ruled out with a thigh strain.

Raul Jimenez is fit again and will undergo a late fitness test once he arrives from Mexico.

Wolves vs Norwich City Prediction

Both teams have enjoyed a good spell recently. The Canaries have managed to pull themselves out of the relegation zone thanks to back-to-back wins in the league while the hosts have maintained a 100% record across all competitions in 2022 so far.

Nonetheless, the hosts, unbeaten against Norwich since 2017, will have too much to offer in this game and should be able to eke out a win here.

Prediction: Wolves 2-1 Norwich City.
