Travel Sick Blues Feeling Poorly Again
Man City are light at the back and face their fourth away game in a row at the worst time possible.
We’ve already seen the impact that fixture congestion can have on managers let alone players at this time of year. Jurgen Klopp played a side of strangers against Exeter City on Friday night and fortunately escaped with a 2-2 draw.
On Saturday it’s Manchester City’s turn to cope with an FA Cup trip hot on the heels of a League Cup semi-final and it will be very interesting to see what side Manuel Pellegrini puts out.
‘The Engineer’ will definitely be missing some of his key components with Vincent Kompany now joined on the sidelines by fellow centre back Eliaquim Mangala.
The Blues have a poor away record since the start of October in all competitions (W2 D3 L3) while Norwich have won their last two at Carrow Road without conceding.
The prices are all wrong here and the hosts should be backed at a best price of 19/5 (WilliamHill).
