**Manchester City are rolling, and Norwich just walked into the Etihad on a night that screams mismatch.** The Cityzens haven't dropped a point in their last five — this is a different beast to the Canaries' inconsistent form 🎯
City are firing on all cylinders, while Norwich are battling injuries and have leaked goals at an alarming rate lately. The hosts should treat this as a workout.
Key storylines:
- **E. Haaland** is City's spearhead and will fancy the space Norwich's backline struggles to defend
- Norwich's injury pile—**A. Ahmed, J. Makama, L. Mahovo, P. Maghoma**—leaves their roster stretched thin
- **Manchester City's** defensive wall of **J. Gvardiol, R. Dias, M. Guéhi** should stifle Norwich's attacking threats with ease
Expected lineups:
- **Manchester City**: G. Donnarumma, J. Gvardiol, R. Dias, M. Guéhi, M. Nunes, E. Anderson, R. Cherki, E. Haaland
- **Norwich City**: V. Kovačević, B. Chrisene, J. Córdoba, R. McConville, J. Stacey, K. McLean, A. Brooks, M. Touré
Prediction:
**Manchester City 4–0 Norwich City**
City's class and Norwich's depleted squad make this a coronation rather than a contest.
