Aston Villa host Norwich City on Saturday looking to snap a five-game winless run against a club they have achieved big scores with previously.

An Ed Upson penalty just before half-time gave Town’s reserves a deserved 1-0 derby victory over Norwich City at Carrow Road. The midfielder, recently out with glandular fever, netted after Reggie Lambe had been fouled inside the area by Canaries keeper Declan Rudd.
