Team News

Norwich
  • Paul Lambert will no doubt make changes after what was perhaps Norwich's worst display of the season at Sunderland, losing 3-0.
  • The Scot has not been scared to rotate his squad and reward winning teams with retained places in the line-up. Therefore, the likes of Jackson, Bennett and Pilkington will hope to start.
  • There could potentially be debuts for new signings from the Championship Jonny Howson and Ryan Bennett.
Bolton
  • Bolton will almost undoubtedly stick with the same side who, in their last two league games, have picked up points against Liverpool and Arsenal.
  • New loan signing Ryo Miyaichi is available to play and in contention having been ineligible to face parent club Arsenal last time out.

Prediction

  • Impressive as they have been this season, Norwich were decidedly outplayed at the Stadium of Light in what was their first loss in 5 Premier League games. They have a good record at Carrow Road and will hope to continue that against 17th placed Bolton.
  • Bolton come into this game on the back of a tough run, having just faced Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal. Owen Coyle will be happy to have picked up 4 points from those games - 4 points which mean they are currently 17th rather than 19th in the table.
  • Norwich do not generally lose at home apart from against the league's bigger sides, but Bolton will come here high in confidence after recent results.
  • PREDICTION: 2-2 draw
