Aston Villa have won three of their five games under Steven Gerrard, only losing to Manchester City and Liverpool.
Norwich have lost ten of their 16 Premier League matches this season.
Aston Villa have conceded in nine of their last ten league games.
Canaries improve under Smith

Norwich failed to make the most of a solid performance against Manchester United on Saturday, with the three points going to the visitors thanks to a 75th minute penalty and resigning the Canaries to back-to-back defeats.

Dean Smith has undoubtedly done wonders since arriving at Carrow Road, though. He has picked up five points from his five games in charge but things could be tough when he welcomes former-club Aston Villa on Tuesday.

Villa on the rise under Gerrard

Steven Gerrard has taken the reins at Villa Park since Smith’s sacking and, like his predecessor, has turned the form around at his new club. He lost on his return to Anfield at the weekend but has won three of his five games in charge, ending the run of five straight defeats that caused Smith’s departure.

Aston Villa’s only defeats since Gerrard’s arrival have been narrow losses against Premier League title contenders Manchester City and Liverpool and that’s helped to push them back towards the top half of the table.

Back the Villains for the win

Victories against Brighton, Crystal Palace and Leicester suggest that Villa can take all three points on Tuesday. They face a Norwich side that have lost ten of their 16 games this season and I’m backing the visitors to win here.

Aston Villa do still have issues at the back. They have conceded in nine of their last ten league matches and each of their last two victories have been by a 2-1 scoreline, so that’s my pick for a correct score prediction.




译文(自动翻译仅供参考):

在杰拉德的带领下，阿斯顿维拉赢得了五场比赛中的三场，只输给了曼城和利物浦。
诺维奇本赛季已经输掉了16场英超比赛中的10场。
阿斯顿维拉在最近的十场联赛中有九场失球。
在史密斯的领导下，金丝雀的情况有所改善

诺维奇在周六对阵曼联的比赛中表现不佳，客队在第75分钟的点球中获得了三分，而金丝猴队则背水一战。

不过，自从来到卡罗路，Dean Smith无疑创造了奇迹。他已经在执教的五场比赛中获得了五分，但是当他在周二迎接前俱乐部阿斯顿维拉时，事情可能会变得很艰难。

在杰拉德的领导下，维拉正在崛起

自从史密斯被解雇后，杰拉德就接管了维拉公园球场，就像他的前任一样，扭转了新俱乐部的局面。他在周末回到安菲尔德的时候输了，但是在他执教的五场比赛中赢了三场，结束了导致史密斯离开的五场连败。

自杰拉德到来以来，阿斯顿维拉的唯一一场失利是惜败于英超冠军争夺者曼城和利物浦，这帮助他们重新回到了积分榜的前半名。

恶徒队赢了

战胜布莱顿，水晶宫和莱斯特表明维拉可以在周二拿下全部三分。他们将面对诺维奇的球队，他们在本赛季的16场比赛中输掉了10场，我支持客队在这里获胜。

阿斯顿维拉的后防线仍然存在问题。在过去的10场联赛中，他们有9场失球，而且他们最近的两场胜利都是2-1的比分，所以这是我选择的一个正确的比分预测。
