Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects a comfortable, clean-sheet win for the hosts.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Manchester City to win to nil | 1/1 (BetVictor) | City sit second in the Premier League with four wins from four, scoring eight and conceding just two, so their defensive base is watertight. Norwich are 14th in the Championship and have shipped 13 goals in seven games, offering little to trouble even a rotated City side. At evens for a home win without conceding, the value is with the hosts keeping another clean sheet. |
| Man City to win 3-0 | 7/1 (bet365) | With City averaging two goals a game and Norwich leaking 13 in seven, a comfortable home win looks nailed on. A 3-0 return matches how City tend to dispatch lower-league opposition, easing clear without emptying the tank. At 7/1 it rates the standout correct score and a tidy price on a routine progression at the Etihad. |

How Manchester City go into the game
Manchester City won the derby 1-0 at Old Trafford after a 2-0 win at Porto in the Champions League. They are in ominous form.
Ruthless and deep, even a rotated City side should have far too much at the Etihad.
How Norwich City go into the game
Norwich lost a 4-3 thriller at Middlesbrough in the Championship, though they beat Birmingham 2-1 before that. Goals have flowed at both ends.
Dangerous going forward but leaky, Norwich face a daunting trip to the champions-elect.
