Preview
Manchester City will look to get their first win of the season as the defending champions face Norwich in their first home match of the season.
Pep’s men were beaten 1-0 last week by Tottenham Hotspur in their opening game of the season as Son scored the winning goal for the North London side.
This was not the ideal start for the champions, but Pep Guardiola knows his side have a quality filled line-up capable of getting back on track with the loss being a blip.
Spirits are high! 🙌

On the other hand, Norwich City were comfortably brushed aside by Liverpool 3-0 in their opening match last week.
Jota, Firmino and Salah’s goals ensured a sad return for the Canaries to the top flight.

Prediction: Man City 3-0 Norwich
Manchester City are too strong a side for Norwich and we expect them to comfortably get the job done on home turf.
Norwich performed exceedingly well in the Championship but their frailties were exposed against Liverpool.
A ruthless and attacking Manchester City will want to get back to winning ways and use this as a perfect opportunity.
We foresee nothing short of a goal fest at the Eitihad with the CityZens making it count.
Players to watch out for: Jesus, Mahrez, Pukki, Rashica.
