Norwich    1-0    Villa

Am far more interested in the Liverpool game to be honest.
How sad...

Lambert will want to win this a lot more than he will probably admit to. He will put out his strongest side. And with the way the defence played saturday, cannot see him changing much. Possibly Given and KEA if Westwood is cup-tied 0-1 Gabby ......

Am a bit worried how much we need the likes of Westwood and Benteke in the team week in, week out. They're performing well but you do worry about burnout later in the season when so much is placed on their young shoulders.

This will be close. I can see a late finish with a heartbreaking twist.

Westwood must have had a two month break from competitive football? Completely agree about Benteke

I forgot Westwood was cup tied. Probably KEA for him; maybe Weimann in one of the front roles. Would be nice to think we could trust our £24m fwd to lead the line and give Benteke a rest, but not sure we can.

Given - herd Clark baker - Lowton kea delph lichaj - Ireland - weimann Benteke

With our inability to score goals, can't see anything other than a Norwich win. Frankly we don't really need this right now. Staying in the PL is a big enough challenge.

I've seen them a few times in this run when they could, and should have had their arses handed to them.

Well, we'll sort that out Tuesday. 4-1 Villa.

I can't believe people are impying Liverpool is the bigger game. We surely have a better chance of winning at Norwich than Liverpool.

We are 2 games away from competing in a cup final to win something at Wembley. Go for it !

It surely aint the premiership or the cup. They aint exclusive of each other. We are not Albion.
