Team News

The most glaring absence for City is Aymeric Laporte. The Frenchman sustained an injury against Brighton and is yet to recover. Fernandinho is the likeliest option to replace the defender with Otamendi giving Pep a player to think.

Gundogan is a doubt too. The German did not play for the national squad due to illness and is yet to recover from the same. The only good news for City is arrival of Benjamin Mendy who seems to have recovered from the long term injury.

For Norwich, Christoph Zimmermann and Tim Klose have both been ruled out due to injury giving Daniel Farke a head ache. Thus, new loan arrival from Sevilla Ibrahim Amadou could feature in the game.
