As former academy team-mate Jadon Sancho prospered after leaving for Borussia Dortmund, it appeared Foden was being left behind.

Two teams from relegation zone and they are there only because their defenses are horrible,Aston villa keep the clean sheet just 3 times at home this season and I expect from them to be able to at least stop the Norwich attack and on the other side,Norwich have worst defense in the league and it is not a surprise they are on bottom of the table. Both teams are winless on last 5 games in a row and I think their confidence is not on high level so I Will go here with under 2.5 goals and I expect vila or Norwich to win with 1 0
They had the ability, confidence and determination, and we beat them. We were self-confident but not over-confident.
