A win against Aston Villa on Sunday would cap an impressive first season back in the Premier League for Norwich City.

Norwich have confounded all expectations on their return to the Premier League this season with a solid mid-table finish.

In contrast, Aston Villa only just managed to avoid the drop in what was a campaign of turmoil for their supporters.

Despite unconvincing finishes for both sides, they will be wanting to go into the summer with optimism come Sunday afternoon.

Adam Drury is Norwich's only injury doubt for the encounter at Carrow Road, with Gabriel Agbonlahor and Emile Heskey possibly sidelined for Alex McLeish's side.

Current form:

Norwich: DWLLLD
Aston Villa: DDLDDD

Possible lineups:

Norwich: Rudd; Naughton, R Martin, R Bennett, Ward; E Bennett, Howson, Johnson, Hoolahan; Jackson; Holt

Aston Villa: Given; Warnock, Dunne, Collins, Cuellar; Clark, Herd, Ireland, N'Zogbia; Heskey, Delph

Sports Mole says: 2-1
