Norwich City vs Manchester City Prediction
Norwich City are currently 18th in the league, one point behind 17th-placed Newcastle United, who have a game in hand. Credit must be given to Dean Smith, who has overseen an improvement in Norwich City's performances and results since taking over from Daniel Farke.
The Canaries are still among the favourites to get relegated, but the fight they have displayed in recent months could see them avoid the drop. Much will depend on the performances of the teams around them though.
Manchester City, on the other hand, have been at their dominant best. It does not surprise anyone to witness them dismantle their opposition with precision and class on a weekly basis, and their incredible quality is now taken for granted.
Kevin De Bruyne has scored more Premier League goals this season (7) than he did in 2020/21 (6).
How many more can he get? 👀 https://t.co/tpf3DNFJwN
Despite lacking a prolific goalscorer, Manchester City have not looked limited in attack. It is a frightening prospect to imagine Erling Braut Haaland in this side, with Manchester City linked with the Borussia Dortmund superstar for some time now.
Manchester City will be the favourites to win this game.
Prediction: Norwich City 0-4 Manchester City
