THE LOWDON

MAN CITY

  • Premier League champions Man City suffered defeat on the opening weekend of the season, losing 1-0 away to Tottenham Hotspur.
  • New signing Jack Grealish failed to make a decisive impact on his Premier League debut for City, whilst midfield talisman Kevin De Bruyne came off the bench late on but has had a minor setback with his ankle so he is a doubt once more.

NORWICH

  • Newly promoted Norwich were comprehensively beaten 0-3 by Liverpool at Carrow Road on their Premier League return and things don’t get any easier for them here.
  • One positive for the Canaries was the debut of Billy Gilmour, with the Scottish international impressive in midfield and he will need to be at his best against a quality Man City outfit.

THE TEAM NEWS

MAN CITY

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Ederson; Walker, Dias, Stones, Zinchenko; Gundogan, Rodri, Grealish; Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling

UNAVAILABLE: Foden (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Delap (Injured), De Bruyne (Injured)

NORWICH

PREDICTED XI (4-3-3): Krul; Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Giannoulis; Lees-Melou, Gilmour, Rupp; Cantwell, Pukki, Rashica

UNAVAILABLE: Byram (Injured), Placheta (Illness)

QUESTIONABLE: Zimmermann (Injured)

THE PREDICTION

A reaction is expected by Pep Guardiola’s side in their first Premier League match back in front of a full Etihad Stadium crowd. The signing of Grealish makes Man City an even more formidable opponent and Norwich are in for a long afternoon. The overwhelming attacking firepower of the hosts should prove far too strong for the Canaries defence to handle and any result other than a Man City victory by at least two goals would be a big surprise.
