Norwich vs Aston Villa – Match Preview

Norwich defender Andre Wisdom could be back after a hamstring injury but midfielder Matt Jarvis remains out with a knee injury.

Manager Alex Neil has no other injury worries but is likely to rotate his squad after a busy festive period.

Southampton midfielder Oriel Romeu is banned after picking up a fifth yellow card in the defeat at West Ham.

Top scorer Graziano Pelle and full-back Cedric both remain out with knee and groin injuries respectively.

Editor’s Note: Norwich’s win on Monday over Aston Villa saw them lifted out of the bottom 3 at the expense of Newcastle. They will be looking to pull further away from the drop zone with a win over Southampton this afternoon.

Southampton have had a mixed Christmas with a fantastic win over Arsenal on Boxing Day and then throwing away a lead against West Ham to come away empty handed from Upton Park.

It’s been a Jekyll and Hyde season for Southampton and the anger levels of Ronald Koeman seems to be rising as of late, can the Saints quell that rage today at Carrow Road.

I have a feeling this one will be a draw today much to the displeasure off Koeman. Another point on the board for Norwich will probably make Alex Neil the happier of the two bosses by 5pm.
