Manchester City vs Norwich City LIVE - Confirmed starting lineups & pre-match updates for Carabao Cup 2026-27 clash
The Cityzens are on a three-match winning run against the Canaries!
Manchester City are set to battle it out against Norwich City for their third-round fixture of the EFL Cup 2026-27. These sides will now have an interesting matchup at the Etihad Stadium.
The Enzo Maresca-led side are coming in after securing a win in the Manchester Derby during their recent English Premier League fixture. Despite being reduced to 10-men, the Cityzens did not lose composure and came out on top to secure three crucial points.
Manchester City are now starting their defence of the Carabao Cup. With a quality squad and the home advantage, they are going to have a slight edge over their opponents. The hosts will be keen to dominate the fixture from the start.
The Canaries are now coming in for their toughest competition of the season. After their average performances in the EFL Championship so far, they are placed 12th in the English second division. Philippe Clement’s men will have to do a lot more in their upcoming cup contest.
Norwich City must not allow their opponents to take many chances on goal, or it will only get worse for them. They should capitalise on chances and should look to break Man City’s defence. Being away from home will be a big challenge for them, but they will be looking to put up a fight here.
Players to Watch
Erling Haaland (Manchester City)
In four English Premier League appearances this season, Erling Haaland has scored four goals and will now be looking to help his side in the Carabao Cup. He also scored a brace in their recent Champions League encounter against FC Porto. The 26-year-old Norwegian forward will be looking to threaten the opponent’s defence with his positioning in the final third.
Mohamed Toure (Norwich City)
The 22-year-old striker from Australia will be looking to step up his game so that he can help his side stand a chance against the in-form Manchester City. He has scored in both of his last two appearances for Norwich City in the EFL Championship. Mohamed Toure will have to work hard in the upcoming fixture.
