Predicted Norwich City XI to face Aston Villa in the Championship
Norwich City confirmed their promotion to the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers in the Championship last week, courtesy of goals from Marco Stiepermann and Mario Vrancic.
The Canaries, though, still have plenty to play for heading into the final game of the season away from home against Aston Villa. Daniel Farke’s side need at least a point from the clash on Sunday to get their hands of the Championship crown.
Villa, on the other hand, have already guaranteed themselves a spot in the promotion-playoffs and Dean Smith’s side will be looking to finish the season on a high after playing out a 1-1 draw against Leeds United last week.
Team News
Daniel Farke doesn’t have too many injuries to contend with heading into the game on Sunday. Tom Trybull is doubtful to feature due to a knock, while Louis Thompson and Carlton John Morris will also be unavailable.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Manager: Daniel Farke
Predicted XI
1. Tim Krul (GK)
The former Dutch international has looked vulnerable between the sticks in recent games but he will be expected to continue in goal for the game on Sunday.
2. Max Aarons (RB)
The youngster made some crucial blocks and tackles in the last game and has always been influential figure down the right-hand side of the pitch.
3. Ben Godfrey (CB)
The Englishman put in another impressive performance against Blackburn last week and he should retain his spot in the eleven.
4. Christoph Zimmermann (CB)
The German looked calm and comfortable on the ball in his previous outing and has been one of the mainstays of Norwich’s backline throughout the campaign.
5. Jamaal Lewis (LB)
He showed plenty of energy last week and raced up and down the pitch to contribute equally to both defence and attack.
6. Mario Vrancic (CDM)
The Bosnian scored a remarkable long-range goal against Blackburn last week and has chipped in with valuable contributions from the bench in recent weeks.
7. Kenny McLean (CDM)
The Scotsman has earned Farke’s trust in recent weeks with a number of top-drawer performances in central midfield and he will be expected to continue on Sunday.
8. Emiliano Buendia (RW)
The Argentinian registered his 17th assist of the season in the last game, which goes on to show what an influential figure he has been since his move to Carrow Road last summer.
9. Onel Hernandez (LW)
The German has been a valuable source of goals and assists down the left flank and Norwich will need him to come up with another solid display on Sunday against Villa.

10. Marco Stiepermann (CAM)
He smashed the ball into the bottom corner to score a lovely goal last week and Norwich will be expecting something similar from him this time around.
11. Teemu Pukki (ST)
The Finnish international is Norwich’s indispensable weapon in the final third and they will look up to him to find the net once again.
