Norwich have improved since Dean Smith took over but their season only ever seemed destined to end in relegation. Their fate is not yet sealed but if they lose against Aston Villa and Burnley beat Watford then they will be officially a Championship side next term. Steven Gerrard has backed Philippe Coutinho to find his best form as Villa are most likely considering whether or not the Brazilian is worth signing permanently. He has shone in patches but has failed to register a goal or assist in his past five matches. Graham Searles
