Carrow Road is the venue for a potential relegation six-pointer on Saturday as Norwich City play host to Aston Villa.Norwich have suffered consecutive 2-0 defeats heading into the home clash, leaving them 17th in the table on six points, while Villa are one place and a point worse off as they sit inside the relegation zone. All of the Canaries' points have come at Carrow Road this season, having defeated Newcastle United 3-1 and then overcoming Manchester City 3-2, while they have only lost one of their 13 home league fixtures in 2019. Daniel Farke is suffering a goalkeeping crisis heading into the contest with Ralf Fahrmann and Tim Krul both ruled out due to injury, meaning third-choice Michael McGovern will be handed a start. Defender Grant Hanley has suffered a setback in his recovery and he is one of at least nine players that are unavailable for selection, while right-back Sam Bryam and midfielder Todd Cantwell are doubtful. Villa are on a two-game unbeaten run, having overcome Brighton in the EFL Cup before drawing 2-2 with Burnley last weekend, but they are winless in their last 21 Premier League away games, last tasting success on the road in the top flight in August 2015. The Villans have dropped a league-high eight points from winning positions but they have not conceded a first-half goal in six of their seven league games this season. Left-back Matt Targett is fit for Aston Villa despite coming off against Burnley last weekend, English defender Tyrone Mings has recovered from a shin injury while midfielder Henri Lansbury is back in contention. Club-record signing Wesley suffered a head injury against the Clarets but has been cleared to play, but this game comes too soon for striker Jonathan Kodjia and defender James Chester.
