Norwich City face Manchester City on Saturday at Carrow Road.

Norwich City face Manchester City on Saturday with both sides on a stuttering run of form.

The Canaries have lost two on the trot after their rise to seventh in the Premier League, 2-1 to West Bromwich Albion and most recently Chelsea 1-0 at home.

City have slipped to seven points behind local rivals Manchester United after their surprise 1-0 defeat on Boxing Day to Sunderland.

Andrew Surman and Steven Whittaker both have an outside chance of being fit and Chris Hughton has no fresh suspension concerns.

Roberto Mancini is without a number of faces, with Mario Balotelli, Gael Clichy, Aleksandar Kolarov and Samir Nasri all doubts with respective knocks. Micah Richards remains a long-term absentee.
