Since sacking former manager Daniel Farke at the start of November and bringing in Smith as his successor, Norwich City have enjoyed a surprising upswing in form. They took 5 points from his first three games in charge, and while the East Anglian side have endured back-to-back defeats in their last two fixtures, these came against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United — hardly disappointing results.
Despite this uptick in form, Norwich continue to struggle in front of goal: the bottom-of-the-table side have scored a league-low of eight goals. This is thanks in large part to the patchy form of talisman forward Teemu Pukki, as well as summer signing Josh Sargent’s inability to make an impact. Smith will know that if he’s to keep Norwich in the EPL this season, he’ll need them to find the back of the net more consistently.
Aston Villa have also enjoyed a resurgence in results after sacking Smith, also in early November. New manager Steven Gerrard has overseen an impressive three wins from five games, with the two defeats in that period coming against Liverpool and Manchester City. Gerrard has the side looking much more like the Villa of last season, and will be viewing this game as another chance to impress the club’s fanbase, who have quickly taken to him.
The lineups are as follows:
Norwich: (4-3-3 formation) 1 Krul, 2 Aarons, 4 Gibson, 15 Kabak, 21 Williams, 19 Sørensen, 8 Gilmour, 23 McLean, 11 Placheta, 22 Pukki, 14 Cantwell
Aston Villa: (4-3-3 formation) 1 Martínez, 2 Cash, 4 Konsa, 5 Mings, 3 Targett, 7 McGinn, 6 Douglas Luiz, 41 J Ramsey, 10 Buendía, 11 Watkins, 18 Young
