Manchester City will wrap up their domestic season with a home match against Norwich City this Sunday. Both sides will not gain much from this encounter – City in second place with 78 points and Norwich at the bottom on 21 points. The only achievement for City here will perhaps be to hit 100 league goals; they need just three more goals and their form at home points to a possibility. Manchester City have lost both the league and FA Cup titles, a highlight of a low season for them, though they are still in contention for the Champions League. They have won their last four league matches, scoring for fun in the process, and have had a great run at home too. With a 78% winning rate at home, City are second to champions Liverpool on home form and they will be out to extend that here. They have lost just twice at home this season, to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Manchester United, and have failed to score in just one of their league matches at home. Heading to this clash City have six straight wins in league matches played at home, and are unbeaten in 10 home matches. They have scored at least two goals in each of their last 10 league matches at home, keeping six clean sheets and eight of the 10 producing over 2.5 goals. City lost 3-2 to Norwich in the reverse fixture, making it the first win for the Canaries in six meetings with The Citizens, who have three wins in the six meetings.

On their part, Norwich head here on a run of 10 straight losses; nine in the league and one in the FA Cup. The Canaries are already relegated and will only honor this match as a formality after a poor season that has seen them manage just five wins – the lowest tally in the season. They have also been the poorest in defence and attack, which will not offer them any comforts as they head to the Etihad, to face the league’s top scorers and one of the best defensive sides. In six of their last nine league matches, Norwich City have conceded at least two goals and have one clean sheet in the last 12 league games while they have failed to score in eight of their last nine league games. A run of 14 losses in 18 away matches doesn’t also leave them in good footing ahead of this clash and a more real picture of their away form is painted in the fact that they have managed just one away win in the league this season.
