Norwich host Premier League leaders Manchester City at Carrow Road tonight hoping to claim another memorable home win over Pep Guardiola’s champions.

Although Norwich have lost their last two matches against City 5-0, including earlier this season, the Canaries produced a stunning display to beat Guardiola’s side 3-2 in September 2019, a result that proved to a be the highlight of a season that ultimately ended in relegation.

City are on a commanding run of form and the Premier League leaders defeated Brentford on Wednesday to maintain their lead over second-place Liverpool.

Norwich, meanwhile, extended their unbeaten run to four games in all competitions with a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace, but Dean Smith’s side are desperate for wins if they are to have any hope of pulling themselves out of relegation trouble.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the match this evening.

Even with changes likely, this is set to be another Manchester City performance of control and authority, one that will leave Norwich looking short. Norwich 0-2 Man City
