Manchester City Preview – Will Pep’s City end with an easy win?
After last weekend’s disappointing Emirates FA Cup semi-final defeat to Arsenal, Manchester City struck back with an emphatic Premier League victory at Watford last time out. Two Raheem Sterling goals and strikes by Phil Foden and Aymeric Laporte gave City a 4-0 victory at Vicarage Road.
Man City have certainly had their problems away from home since the restart, but they have been imperious at the Etihad Stadium. Since losing a Carabao Cup semi-final to Manchester United in January – which did not matter as they went through on aggregate – the Citizens have won each of their following six at home.
Only Premier League champions Liverpool have picked up more home points than Man City. Pep’s troops have won 14 of their 18 league fixtures at the Etihad, drawing two and losing two of the other four.
After watching rivals Liverpool lift the trophy in midweek, Man City will want to end their season with a big home win on Sunday.
Norwich City Preview – Another heavy defeat for the relegated Canaries?
Daniel Farke’s Norwich City, who won the Championship last term, have found it tough going in the Premier League this season. The Canaries will finish rock bottom having won just five of 37 matches. Overall, they have picked up a mere 21 points.
Norwich have been dreadful on the road this term, claiming just one away win. The Canaries have been beaten 14 times, taking only six away points all season. In truth, this could be another heavy defeat for the side from Norfolk.

Norwich would love to end their season on a high, but a trip to the Etihad Stadium to take on a rampant Manchester City side is not the fixture they would have chosen. At the time of writing, bet365 are offering the whopping odds of 25/1 for the Canaries to cause an upset in Manchester.
Manchester City vs Norwich City Betting Advice
Norwich put on one of the performances of the Premier League season when the two met at Carrow Road back in September. Goals from Kenny McLean, Todd Cantwell and Teemu Pukki proved to be enough to give the Canaries a memorable 3-2 win, which was without doubt the highlight of their season.
Key Facts – Manchester City vs Norwich City Betting Tip
- Man City have won each of their last six Premier League matches at the Etihad
- Norwich have picked up only one away league win all season
- The Canaries beat Man City 3-2 at Carrow Road in the reverse fixture, but they have won just three league games since
A lot of water has passed under the bridge since then, though, and Man City will be targeting a big home victory on the final day. Norwich have looked down and out for a number of months now, and I fancy City to win -3 (5/4) at the Etihad.
Raheem Sterling has had a red-hot season in front of goal. Back the England international to score the opening goal of this one at 4/1.
