Carrow Road is the venue on Tuesday evening when Norwich City take on Aston Villa in the Championship.

Matchday 14 sees the continuation of second-tier football after a two-week break to accommodate the latest round of international fixtures.

With those out the way, domestic football takes centre stage once more, and the action continues after a pulsating weekend of action.

Daniel Farke’s men currently sit sixth in the division on 21 points having won four of their last six matches, including an impressive win over Nottingham Forest at the City ground last time out.

Aston Villa, meanwhile, were able to win in Dean Smith’s first match in charge since taking over.

Tammy Abraham headed home the winner after eight minutes at Villa Park to see the Midlands club move up to 13th in the division.

Ahead to the fixture between the two sides, Sky Sports has enlisted the help of David Prutton to give his expert opinion on the outcome of this match.

The EFL presenter and pundit believes the match between the two sides will end in a narrow 2-1 win for the Canaries.

It will no doubt be a competitive match, as are most in the second-tier.

And, with that said, here are two reasons why Prutton’s Norwich v Aston Villa prediction is spot on.

Norwich City are second in the form guide after their last six results, which has seen them move into the play-off places in the Championship.

The Canaries got back to winning ways away at Nottingham Forest after two games without a win - before that, they were on a four-match winning streak.

Daniel Farke’s side are one of the form teams in the division and will be hard to beat, especially coming up against a Villa side under new management.

That is one of the reasons why David Prutton’s prediction for a Norwich win will be correct.

Saturday’s home win against Swansea was Dean Smith’s first in charge, but the proposition of going away to a side who are going great guns like Norwich is a daunting task.

That win aside, Villa are still in transition and the narrow triumph against a side who have had indifferent results this team was welcome but not convincing.

But going away to a side who have won four of their last six matches and sit three points and seven places better off than them, while still getting a team to learn your style of play will not be easy.

David Prutton predicted a home win and based on Villa’s transition; it looks to be spot on.
