While Villa spent more than £100m after winning promotion via the play-offs, Norwich spent a fraction of that sum, with £750,000 for West Ham right-back Sam Byram one of the biggest outlays. And they have paid the price for naive defending and a toothless attack. They have managed just five clean sheets and scored only seven times away from Carrow Road. With two of their three remaining games at third-placed Chelsea and second-placed Manchester City, they are on course to finish the season with the fewest away goals in the Premier League era.
Meanwhile, there's a clash that would not be out of place in the Champions League as Bayer Leverkusen face Porto. Ajax draw Getafe Last season's Champions League semi-finalists draw Getafe. Meanwhile, we've got Sporting Lisbon v Istanbul Basaksehir. Wolves first out of the hat, take on Espanyol Wolves are the first team out in the Europa League round of 32 draw and they trip to Barcelona to face Espanyol.
Shakhtyor continue to be in top form and keeping clean sheets. They face an awkward trip to Dinamo Minsk who have four points from their last two games but they have already lost twice at home. Both those losses were inflicted by sides currently in the top seven. Their last two home wins have come against Isloch (no points on their travels this season) and Neman Grodno who are 13th in the table. The away side has the momentum and can get the win.
Ex-England defender Norman Hunter is being treated in hospital after testing positive for coronavirus, his former club Leeds United have confirmed. Hunter, 76, played 726 games in 15 years at Elland Road, won two league titles and played in the 1975 European Cup final defeat by Bayern Munich. He was also part of Sir Alf Ramsey's England squad for the 1966 World Cup and went on to win 28 caps in total.
Neither side will welcome this match particularly and it doesn’t really serve a purpose other than fulfilling a fixture. Espanyol are slight favourites and that feels about right with the Spanish side looking much better than their opponents in Europe this season and we’re predicting them to pick up the win.
Given that there's an entire division (and then some) separating the teams, Cardiff will have been disappointed to not walk away as winners when the pair met in Wales less than fortnight ago, and not least because they dominated in terms of possession, shots and shots on target. Then again, their performance will allow them to feel confident ahead of this fixture.
Former Chelsea and Italy star Gianfranco Zola is the latest Premier League legend to reveal all to Match of the Day's Top 10 podcast. The diminutive forward, dubbed 'Magic Box' for his quick feet and close control, played for Napoli and Parma before joining the Blues in 1996.

That victory at Villa Park also ended a run of five winless games away from home, but the fact is that it will be very difficult for them to build on that at Stamford Bridge. The Blues have won four of their last six Premier League games at home and have won eight of their last nine meetings with Southampton.

Almost 12 months ago, twenty-four BBC TV and radio pundits made their predictions for the Premier League season, picking their champions and their top four. Sounds easy? Far from it. None of them got it exactly right. Although eight pundits correctly picked Liverpool as champions, only Ruud Gullit got all four teams - and they were all in the wrong order. Matthew Upson deserves applause for getting three out of the four in their correct positions and another 10 pundits included three correct picks overall.
Maldon & Tiptree head into Friday’s clash as the underdogs but having already knocked out one League Two side the hosts will be confident of repeating that feat against Newport County. The visitors needed a replay to beat Grimsby Town in the last round and sit in mid-table in their domestic league and will see this tie as a potential banana skin, especially with the match being televised.

Unbeaten in 5 games, Flu have shown they can hold their nerve when it counts and confidence will be fairly high coming into this game. The side have looked reasonably strong since Marcao came in a few months ago and also having taken 7 points from their last 4 away games, they'll be assured of their ability to secure a result on enemy territory

Manchester City cut the advantage of leaders Liverpool to 13 points as substitute Sergio Aguero struck late for a 1-0 win at Sheffield United after Gabriel Jesus had a first-half penalty saved but the real excitement was lower down the table.

Wan-Bissaka runs Willian down the right, and after a couple of Cruyff turns he fires a beautiful cross into the penalty area. Martial rises above his marker in the middle and glances a perfect header into the far corner past Caballero.
Their progress was again checked when Richarlison capitalised on yet more defensive frailty to poke Everton level just before half-time, but Aubameyang headed the home side back ahead 26 seconds after the break. Everton had chances to get at least a point, but Calvert-Lewin saw a cross agonisingly elude his slide before firing straight at Leno from close range. The win means Arsenal remain unbeaten in 2020 and gives them back-to-back league victories for the first time since the opening two matches of the campaign.

Wijnaldum, who protested against racism by pointing at compatriot Frenkie de Jong's skin during a Euro 2020 qualifier last week, said he did not like to see team mates preventing racially abused players from leaving the pitch. It frustrates me a lot to see that because you don't know what he's feeling," the Dutch midfielder added.

An epic shootout went to sudden death and Charlton won it 7-6 to gain promotion, with Michael Gray missing the crucial spot-kick.

Another interesting match for tonight and new duel where goals are pretty real to expect, but we will see what will happen. Feyenoord this season is have a lot of problems with defense and in last match in Dutch league at home, they are played 3-2 against RKC and after that, just 1-1 against Groningen. Rangers is in better form and they are won in last six matches in all competitions. I believe that in this duel, one of rivals will probably win 2-1 or something similar and I see here very fast football from both of rivals, with a lot of chances.
Sofiane Boufal hit his toe at home on the table, the big one," said the Austrian. It's a little bit swollen still and it would be a little difficult for the weekend I think, but next weekend yeah.

For me there is at least a class difference between these two teams at this moment or between any club from Netherlands and Ajax right now, to be remembered Ajax had an excellent run in the Champions League last season defeating top sides like Real Madrid or Juventus, and they do seem much better in tough games away from home than at home winning 3-0 away at Valencia, 2-0 at Lille and having the lead 4-1 at Chelsea but they only drew 4-4 and it cost them qualification.
