Recent respective form guides

Norwich City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Canaries have scored 7, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

Aston Villa's away form is none too clever either, collecting just 4 draws from the last six contests. Villans have conceded 9 goals in these games, and only hit 2 in reply.

Norwich City see themselves just below half way in the Barclays Premier League, showing a record of 44 points from their 37 games played so far,

Aston Villa are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 38 points from 37 matches.
