Pep Guardiola cut a frustrated figure when seeing his Manchester City team overturned by Tottenham Hotspur, with a bright start not materialising in goals and the champions of England continued to be thwarted by a disciplined side before Spurs managed to score the winner.
Perhaps the Citizens losing in North London will make the Premier League title race all the more exciting although we’re virtually guaranteed to see the Citizens come storming back in this facile fixture, with Guardiola still hoping to secure the signature of Harry Kane before the transfer window closes.
Kevin de Bruyne looks a likely starter in this clash and it might be that Gabriel Jesus is given the opportunity to shine, while John Stones is a virtual certainty to return to the heart of the defence and we might see Jack Grealish running the show.
As for Norwich, they must curse a fixture list which has thrown them Liverpool and City in the first two Game Weeks, with the visitors likely to be well-beaten come the final whistle and we think that the home side with a two-goal deficit could be the bet to place.
BETTING VERDICT
Manchester City -2
