Wolves team news vs Norwich City Toti starts as Chiquinho benched for Hwang
Latest Wolves news from BirminghamLive includes Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Norwich City team news

Toti Gomes makes his first start since early February in Wolverhampton Wanderers' game against Norwich City today.

Portuguese defender Toti - who returned from a loan spell at Grasshoppers in January to boost Bruno Lage's defensive numbers - made his last appearance in the FA Cup defeat to the Canaries on February 5. Wolves stick with a three-man defence, so Toti starts alongside Willy Boly and Conor Coady.

Jonny Castro Otto shifts to right wing-back to accommodate Toti's return to the starting line-up. Toti replaces Leander Dendoncker as Wolves switch to a 3-4-3 formation for their final home game of the season.

Elsewhere, John Ruddy is handed his first Premier League start of the season in what could be his farewell match. The goalkeeper's contract expires next month and he could depart after five years at the club.

Chiquinho is benched following his impressive performance against Manchester City on Wednesday. Hwang Hee-chan returns to the line-up at the youngster's expense to join Raul Jimenez and Pedro Neto in attack.

Daniel Podence returns to the bench after six weeks out with a foot injury. Yerson Mosquera and Luke Cundle aren't named among the substitutes after their involvement in Friday night's Premier League Cup defeat to West Bromwich Albion.

Wolves (3-4-3): Ruddy; Boly, Coady, Toti; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Ait-Nouri; Hwang, Jimenez, Neto

Subs: Sa, Hoever, Marcal, Dendoncker, Chiquinho, Podence, Trincao, Silva
