Tip and bets
Norwich are in good form and have gained momentum in the latest matches, but we don't believe they can upset the visiting team. Man City are almost unstoppable this season.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-2) to Manchester City
City should win confidently, but let's not forget that they have a Champions League match on Tuesday. Guardiola's charges will try to save energy for the trip to Lisbon, so we don't expect them to win by more than three goals.
Second bet - Manchester City to win by 3 goals
