THE LOWDOWN
NORWICH
- Norwich will have been disappointed to have only drawn 1-1 at home to Crystal Palace last time out despite taking the lead in what will likely be seen as a missed opportunity by the Canaries, however it does extend their unbeaten run to four games in all competitions.
- Josh Sargent has not featured since his brace away at Watford but he has been declared fit and available but Andrew Omobamidele and Ozan Kabak will definitely miss out.
MAN CITY
- League leaders Man City weren’t at their best against Brentford in midweek, but still managed to dominate the game throughout, ultimately triumphing 2-0 and extending their unbeaten run in the Premier League to 14 games.
- Striker Gabriel Jesus missed out against the Bees and is once more unavailable here, whilst Pep Guardiola may consider rotating his squad with Man City’s crucial Champions League round of 16 first clash against Sporting CP on the horizon this coming Tuesday.

THE PREDICTION
Whilst Norwich have significantly improved over their last few games to give themselves a genuine chance of Premier League survival, they have not played a side boasting the quality that Man City do over that period and this could well prove a long evening for the hosts. The biggest threat for Guardiola’s men here could well be complacency with their return to Champions League action looming and Norwich’s marked improvement in terms of their offence could see them catch the visitors cold here. However, the class and strength-in-depth of Man City across the pitch should see them through at Carrow Road, so back the league leaders to triumph by at least two clear goals.
Tip: MAN CITY TO WIN WITH -1 HANDICAP
