Norwich – Man City

Early kickoff in England, as Norwich City and Manchester City will battle for points in round number 30 of the Barclays Premier League.

The home side was looking pretty good in the first part of the season, but lately Norwich has been absolutely dreadful. Just 1 point in the last 9 Premier League outings and we can add a 0-3 cup defeat at home to Manchester City in this horrible run. Norwich can’t score to save their lives, finding the net in just 4 of these last 10 matches in all competitions. The hosts are coming after a 0-1 defeat against Swansea, which sent them on the 18th place, right into the relegation zone.

Manchester City struggled for 45 minutes against Aston Villa last week, but the Citizens were unstoppable once they broke the deadlock, winning 4-0 and missing a penalty in the process. However, humbling Villa wasn`t exactly a fantastic achievement and fact is that City is struggling a bit lately. Just two wins in the last 7 matches in all competitions, from which they lost 4. Prior to the Villa game, City won the League Cup via penalties in a poor match against Liverpool, but was destroyed a few days later by the same side, 0-3.

Team news & lineups:

Tettey is the only definite absentee for Norwich, but their lineup is expected to suffer more changes – as Bassong, Brady, Naismith and Wisdom are all struggling for fitness. Manchester City continues to miss De Bruyne, Delph and Nasri.

Norwich City: Ruddy – Pinto, Klose, Martin, Bennett- O’Neil, Howson – Dorrans, Redmond, Bamford (Naismith) – Jerome

Manchester City: Hart – Sagna, Kompany, Otamendi, Clichy – Toure, Fernandinho – Navas, Silva, Sterling – Aguero

Man City isn`t playing great, but the comfortable win against Aston Villa gave them confidence and, most importantly, kept their title chances alive – even if they are not too high. The visitors also need to protect a Top 4 spot, so they have everything to play for. This game is without a doubt more important than the one they have coming up against Dynamo Kiev, also because they recorded a satisfying 3-1 win in Ukraine.

I can`t see a motivated Manchester City side dropping points this afternoon. Norwich is in total disarray right now, they can’t score goals and can’t keep opposing teams scoreless either. Confidence is low and meeting the Citizens won`t do much to build it up – as the visitors already defeated Norwich twice this season, 2-1 and 3-0.

My tip is Manchester City to win. I will choose a simple bet without getting greedy here, because the hosts know how to park the bus and Man City is not that great right now, especially on the road – so no handicaps. But all in all, the visitors should really be able to claim three points against a very poor Norwich side. Prediction: Norwich City – Manchester City 0-1.
