Squad sheets: Norwich City v Aston Villa

guardian 

Paul Lambert returns to the club that he left under a cloud a year ago and while he believes that "the fans have always been good with me", the Aston Villa manager still harbours bitterness towards the Norwich hierachy over his departure. Lambert will be eager to prove his point by getting a good result at Carrow Road but he will have to do so without Jores Okore Ciaran Clark is expected to step in. Rich Flower
