  1. Little Christmas cheer

    Norwich v Aston Villa (15:00 GMT)

    Hello! There has been little festive cheer for either Norwich or Aston Villa fans this Christmas. Well, admittedly, it has been much bleaker for Villa than their hosts today.

    The Villans have not won in any of Remi Garde's seven matches at the helm. In fact, they haven't won in any of their past 17 matches.

    Norwich have mustered one win in their past six games (although that was a stonking 2-1 success at Manchester United).

    Something has got to give today. Hasn't it?

  2. Three points for Christmas?

    Remi Garde is a touch too old to be writing to Santa. But desperate times call for desperate measures. So if the Aston Villa manager did send a letter up to Lapland then it might have looked a little like this...
