Preview
Newcastle United come into this after yet another loss, this time at the hands of Arsenal 2-0 away on Saturday.
Saka and Martinelli scored the goals in the second half within the space of 10 minutes inflicting a 7th defeat of the season on the Magpies.
The Magpies remain rooted at the bottom of the table with 6 points; having all come through draws.
Eddie Howe has a huge task ahead to help the boys keep their heads in the hands as Newcastle are just not being able to find a way to successfully get three points.
With no clean-sheet in 11 matches, the Magpies have the worst defensive record this season, which is no surprise given their position in the points table.
On the other hand, Norwich played out a goalless draw against Wolves last time out to stay in 19th place on the table with 9cpoints.
After successive wins against Brentford and Southampton, Norwich came into the Wolves clash with confidence.
