Ashton set to start for Norwich

Injury-hit Norwich are set to hand new £3m (€4.3m) striker Dean Ashton his debut in tomorrow’s Barclays Premiership match at Aston Villa.

Leon McKenzie could play alongside the former Crewe man after recovering from a hamstring injury, although manager Nigel Worthington could opt for a three-pronged attack with Darren Huckerby and Mattias Jonson pressed further forward.
