More Man City possession and it's worked out to the right and Jesus Navas. The winger has a reputation for being a bit of a dodgy crosser - this cross finds nobody.

Man City happy to move the ball around early on, until a long ball drifted towards Wilfried Bony finds the striker offside. Norwich have lined up with three central defenders it seems...

Norwich get us under way. And we're off.

There have been 32 goals in the last six meetings between these sides. And that's including a 0-0 draw.

They make the teams wait in the tunnel a fair old while at Etihad. They will be able to hear Blue Moon being trumpeted out on the field. Actually trumpeted, by an actual trumpeter.

Think you know your football? According to our league table, 15-24 year-olds are out in front when it comes to predicting the results of Premier League matches this season, just ahead of 45-54 year-olds, while the youngest (13-15) and oldest players (over 65) occupy the bottom two positions.

This is the first time Alex Neil has been under the cosh at Norwich. It will be interesting to see how he copes.

It could be a memorable afternoon for Manchester City's number 76, Manu Garcia Alonso.

"Manchester City are like a dog with a bone at the moment. That's the way they should be. Poor at Borussia Monchengladbach and against Sevilla, they won both games.

"Defensively disciplined at Manchester United, they deserved the point. Imperious in the way they brushed aside Crystal Palace, they showed up fallen rivals in the competition.

"This is not a good time for Norwich to go visiting.

"The Canaries were squashed there 7-0 last season. It's four defeats in a row in all competitions this term and the longest winless run in the managerial career of Alex Neil.

"He 'wouldn't say it is worrying times'. With Swansea, Chelsea and Arsenal to come after this, it could well be soon."

Half-and-half scarves spotted outside Etihad Stadium.

Half-and-half scarves. For a regular Premier League fixture.

The game has officially gone mad.

In-form team against strugglers? International global stars against plucky upstarts? Foregone conclusion? Probably.

The last time Norwich went to Etihad Stadium they were tonked 7-0 (pictured). Premier League leaders Man City are the division's top scorers with 24 goals - the Canaries are the only side in the league yet to keep a clean sheet this term.

But hey, if the result was already determined, none of us would have even bothered getting out of bed today.

Anyway, let's get the team news...
