Team News: Jon Dadi Bodvarsson up front for Wolverhampton Wanderers

Bodvarsson up front for Wolves

Jon Dadi Bodvarsson has been picked to lead the line for Wolverhampton Wanderers' trip to Norwich City in the Championship this afternoon.

Nouha Dicko is the man to make way in one of two changes from manager Paul Lambert as he returns to Carrow Road for the first time in his guise as Wolves boss.

Helder Costa, Joe Mason and Ivan Cavaleiro provide attacking support, with Dave Edwards and Jack Price continuing to operate at defensive midfield.

There is one change in the back four as Dominic Iorfa is preferred to Conor Coady, who drops to the bench.

The bench also features striker Andreas Weimann, who is in line to make his debut today after signing on loan from Derby County earlier this week.

For the hosts, Alex Neil makes two changes to the starting XI that suffered a 2-1 defeat to Rotherham United - the Championship's bottom side - last weekend, extending their worrying league run to nine losses in their last 13.

Cameron Jerome leads the line for the Canaries as Nelson Oliveira misses out through suspension, while Robbie Brady, who continues to be linked with a big-money move away from Carrow Road this month, displaces Steven Whittaker in the middle of the field.

Norwich City: Ruddy; Pinto, Martin, Klose, Brady; Howson, Tettey; Ja. Murphy, Hoolahan, Naismith; Jerome Subs: McGovern, Bassong, Lafferty, Pritchard, Bennett, Jo. Murphy, Godfrey

Wolverhampton Wanderers: Ikeme; Iorfa, Batth, Stearman, Doherty; Price, Edwards; Costa, Mason, Cavaleiro; Bodvarsson Subs: Burgoyne, Saville, Coady, Evans, Dicko, Enobakhare, Weimann
