Kenny Jackett: 'Wolverhampton Wanderers are ready'

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett believes that his team is ready for Sunday's Championship opener against Norwich City.

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Kenny Jackett has backed his players to be ready for this weekend's Championship opener against Norwich City.

The Midlands club finished their pre-season campaign on Sunday with a 1-1 draw against Celta Vigo - a result that stretched their unbeaten record to seven games.

While admitting that Norwich will provide Wolves with a stern test at Molineux on Sunday, Jackett believes that his side will rise to the occasion.

"We are ready now - we are ready to go and looking forward to the season," he told the club's official website.

"Norwich will be a big test for us because they have been very impressive and very free-flowing in pre-season. Looking at their teamsheet, it's a very good one.

"But it's the sort of test we wanted - that is why we are here and why we wanted to get into this league. It's a fantastic challenge and one we have to look forward to."

Wolves romped to the League One title last season, finishing the campaign with a nine-point lead at the top of the table.
