Norwich v Aston Villa
All about the team news this one, with the Norwich City treatment table looking rather crowded. Latest reports suggest they are without Grant Hanley (3 apps, 0 goals) and Christophe Zimmermann (1,0) at the back, Mario Vrancic (2,0), Onel Hernandez (1,0), Tom Tybull (4,0) and Alexander Tettey (3,0 - captain) in midfield, and both Tim Krul and Ralf Fahrmann from between the sticks. That's a heck of an injury list, and there is a chance Todd Cantwell won't be completely fit either.
Norwich's open approach has ensured entertainment, and their 3-2 win over Manchester City eased fears - but that was a freak result and they have still lost six from eight and must be concerned about an immediate drop back to the Championship. They are yet to keep a clear sheet this season, while their three home games have seen 14 goals.
Villa will surely get their chances in this therefore and are reporting a clean bill of health, and crucially have scored in seven of their nine matches. They drew with Burnley 2-2 last time out, won at Brighton ahead of that, and could have got more from their 3-2 defeat at Arsenal.
Both sides look poor, and will face long tough seasons ahead, but the injury news doesn't appear to be reflected strongly enough in the market and with a draw looking unlikely due to the attacking nature of both sides, Villa get the nod here at 19/10.
