Squad sheets: Norwich City v Aston Villa While there is nothing tangible to play for on Sunday – Norwich are safely ensconced in mid-table and Aston Villa have finally limped clear of danger – both teams will be keen to end the season on a high. Paul Lambert has called for his side to put on a good display at Carrow Road after back-to-back home defeats because "too many come to watch us (not to perform)", while Alex McLeish must be feeling the pressure after a dire first full season at Villa. Lambert has admitted he will have to "box clever" this summer as transfer funds are limited but at least he has the luxury of knowing his job is safe.
