The home side are without Christoph Zimmermann and Timm Klose for this game. Grant Hanley may also miss out, those defensive absentees don’t bode well as Norwich host a team that 95 Premier League goals last season.

John Stones, Gabriel Jesus and Ilkay Gundogan have a good chance of being fit enough for selection for City. The visitors will continue to be without Aymeric Laporte, Benjamin Mendy and Leory Sane who are long-term absentees.
