Preview: Aston Villa vs. Norwich City

Sports Mole previews the Premier League match between Aston Villa and Norwich City.

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert will be keen to get one over his former club when Norwich City make the trip to Villa Park on Sunday.

Lambert left Carrow Road in 2012 to move to the West Midlands, and the winner of the weekend's match will move a step closer to safety in the Premier League table.

The two sides are four points above the relegation zone in 13th and 14th place respectively, with only goal difference separating them in the standings.

Lambert witnessed his side lose to an injury-time goal at Newcastle United last weekend, but he could opt to retain the same starting lineup for the visit of the Canaries.

Norwich boss Chris Hughton eased speculation linking him with a departure from the club with a 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur, but he could still decide to hand a recall to striker Gary Hooper.
