On the other hand, Norwich lost their previous EPL clash on the weekend 2-0 away to Southampton.
Adams and Romeu’s strikes inflicted a 17th loss of the season on the Canaries, making their slim chances of survival even more difficult.

Norwich beat Wolves 1-0 in the 4th Round of the FA Cup to seal their place in the next round. McLean scored the only goal of the contest.
