Team news & rosters
| Position | Man City roster |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Steffen, Ederson, Carson |
| Defenders | Walker, Dias, Stones, Ake, Zinchenko, Laporte, Mendy, Cancelo, Sandler |
| Midfielders | Gundogan, Grealish, Rodri, De Bruyne, Silva, Fernandinho, Roberts, Foden |
| Forwards | Sterling, Jesus, Torres, Mahrez |
The big talking point remains who will score for Man City after it failed to score in both its competitive games so far this season.
A deal has not yet been done for Harry Kane, so Kevin De Bruyne could be chosen as a false nine against Norwich.
Ilkay Gundogan has a shoulder injury and could miss out, while Phil Foden is definitely out with a foot injury.
Predicted Man City starting XI: Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko; Gundogan, Rodri; Mahrez, Grealish, Sterling; De Bruyne.
| Norwich roster | |
|---|---|
| Goalkeepers | Krul, Gunn, McGovern |
| Defenders | Aarons, Byram, Gibson, Hanley, Zimmermann, Mumba, Omobamidele |
| Midfielders | Rupp, Gilmour, Dowell, Placheta, Cantwell, Rashica, Sorensen, Lees-Melou, McLean, Hernandez |
| Forwards | Hugill, Pukki, Sargent, Idah |
Milot Rashica made his Norwich debut last week and should feature in the starting XI against Man City.
USMNT forward Josh Sargent was introduced from the bench and is still building fitness.
Sam Byram is out for the Canaries, while Onel Hernandez and Jordan Hugill are not expected to return in time.
Predicted Norwich starting XI: Krul; Aarons, Hanley, Gibson, Giannoulis; Lees-Melou, Gilmour, Rupp; Cantwell, Pukki, Rashica.
