The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Tuesday's Premier League clash between Norwich City and Aston Villa, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Norwich City 0-1 Aston Villa

Even with a fully-fit squad, Norwich would always have a hard time breaking down this Villa defence, no matter how much Smith is determined to get one over his old club. The visitors have plenty of options for fresh legs in the final third and are truly benefitting from Gerrard's winning mentality, so we can only envisage a return to winning ways for the Lions.
