It's going to be a long hard season for Norwich City and one that could well end with them returning to the Championship. Three of their four league games have been lost this season with ten goals conceded. That's a total that is going to increase over this weekend with them hosting Manchester City. They have failed to keep a clean sheet all season and that includes a 1-0 loss to League Two side Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup. Norwich may have Teemu Pukki up front and he will be a danger, but their defending just isn't good enough. With their next four games being against less heralded sides, the next few weeks are going to be vital for them, but this weekend is going to produce another defeat.

By the time this game is played, Manchester City are likely to be five points behind leaders Liverpool. If the Reds fail to beat Newcastle in the Saturday lunchtime fixture, then a win at Carrow Road will take them to the top of the table. Four league games have already seen them score 14 goals and the due of Aguero and Sterling could have a very productive time in this match. City have won both of their away league games this season and that makes it nine in a row in the Premier League. The suggested bet here is on Manchester City to win and be ahead at both half and full time.
