Norwich’s injury malaise shows no signs of abating. The Canaries are down to their third choice goalkeeper, Michael McGovern, while Grant Hanley has succumbed to a groin injury and Sam Byram is struggling with an ankle injury. Jamal Lewis will feature in this battle between promoted sides wearing protection on a damaged elbow. For Aston Villa, hopes of a first league away win of the season, and the chance to climb above their hosts, have been bolstered by the news that both Matt Targett and Tyrone Mings should be fit to play.
