Aston Villa will face off against rival Norwich City on Sunday, placing two of the English Premier League's closely followed teams against each other.

Aston Villa, coming out of a 1-0 loss to Newcastle United, is expected to be the underdog in the match.

AstonVilla Manager Paul Lambert will unleash Norwich favorite Grant Holt on his old club as he ribs the striker over his efforts in training, the Daily Star reports.

"I think he'll be looking forward to it, it's his first time facing them so it's maybe new for him," he said, according to the site.

"He was a major catalyst for that club with what he did. When I was there he was player of the year for three years in a row and he was great for me."

Norwich City, coming out of a 1-0 win over the Tottenham Hotspurs, is expected to be the favorite in the match.

Norwich City Manager Chris Hughton urges caution over Leroy Fer hamstring injury blow, EDP24.com reports. 

"No that is wild speculation. That is wide of the mark," he said, according to the site.

"The injury only happened yesterday so we are using today and tomorrow to assess it. We'll certainly be able to give a clearer picture in the next few days but anybody coming up with periods of time has to be unfounded because at this particular moment we don't know ourselves. It is a big blow because of the timing going into these last 11 games or so of the season, but we are not going to rush and try to assess it today in terms of how long he can be out."
