Wolverhampton Wanderers boss will not employ new tactics to nullify the threat of Norwich City strikers Grant Holt and Steve Morison tonight.

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy has revealed that he will not be introducing any special tactics to prevent Norwich City strikers Grant Holt and Steve Morison from finding the net at Molineux this evening.

The front pair have been responsible for the ten of Norwich's 25 goals in the Premier League this season.

However, McCarthy believes that the duo will not provide any more of a threat than Stoke City did to his side at the weekend.

"They've got two threats in Steve Morison and Grant Holt," McCarthy told reporters. "But I really don't think they're any bigger aerial threat than Robert Huth, Ryan Shawcross, Peter Crouch, Jonathan Walters, Marc Wilson et al.

"They're flying and doing really well, but we don't just suddenly think 'let's defend crosses'.

"We don't fluctuate from one week to the other and because a couple of lads can head, we all get panicky and practise it."

Wolves will start the match one place above the relegation zone.
