Man City will be looking to keep their perfect record intact when they face Norwich City in the EFL Cup last 32. The Citizens continued their winning run with a 1-0 victory over Manchester United in the local derby, despite Phil Foden's sending-off. Iliman Ndiaye, Nick O'Reilly, and Mateo Kovacic are all pushing for a start as Pep Guardiola considers rotation. City have won 60% of their last 10 matches, scoring 1.60 goals per game, while their home xG stands at an impressive 1.99.
The Canaries, meanwhile, will be eager to recover from a thrilling 4-3 Championship defeat to Middlesbrough. Norwich have won 50% of their last 10 games and have been prolific in attack, averaging 1.90 goals per match. However, they have conceded 1.50 goals per game and failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of those fixtures. Makama and Wright are pushing for starts after coming off the bench against Middlesbrough. With City winning nine of the previous 13 H2H meetings and 11 producing over 2.5 goals, the hosts should have too much quality.
Man City are on a five-game winning run and possess a significant quality advantage. Therefore, anything but a routine Home Win would be a big surprise, alongside Man City Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals total (11 of the last 13 H2H meetings produced at least three goals).
This EFL Cup match will be played on Thursday 17 September 2026 at 19:30.
