- Manchester City return to the Etihad Stadium on Thursday night fresh from their derby‑day win over Manchester United, a victory earned the hard way after Phil Foden’s red card left them playing most of the match with ten men.
- Enzo Maresca’s side may have benefitted from a controversial VAR call, but they were good value for a result and now switch focus to the Carabao Cup as they begin their title defence against Norwich and another triumph would draw them level with Liverpool’s record haul of ten.
- City have faced the Canaries 72 times, winning 39 and drawing 23, and with victories in each of the last three meetings they are understandably short odds at 1/8 with William Hill.
- Norwich, twice winners of this competition (1962 and 1985), head to the Etihad seeking their first victory there since a Premier League clash in 2013.
- It’s been a mixed start to their Championship campaign with three wins and four defeats from seven, but a shock here would send them into the fourth round for the first time since 2019.
- These sides haven’t met since 2022, and Norwich have lost the last three encounters without scoring — an aggregate 14–0 — though punters can back the Canaries at 14/1 with William Hill if they fancy a major upset.
