Launching the leanest Gameweek of the season so far, Norwich City welcome Manchester City to Carrow Road. The Canaries are in the midst of a dreadful run – having tasted defeat in eight of their previous nine match-ups – while the Sky Blues arrested their losing streak with a 4-0 rout of Aston Villa last time out.

Only Watford have notched fewer goals (two compared to three) over the last six Gameweeks than Alex Neil’s strugglers. Furthermore, Norwich chart joint-second-bottom for shots on target (nine) since Gameweek 26. On the defensive end, the Canaries arguably did well to concede just six goals across the last four Gameweeks, given that they were pitted against West Ham United, Leicester City and Chelsea. It’s also worth noting that they placed joint-third-bottom for big chances surrendered (four).

Man City’s attack has flattered to deceive on the road this term, mustering just two more goals than Aston Villa. Remarkably, only four sides have recorded fewer big chances than Manuel Pellegrini’s troops in away matches (15) – providing prospective Sergio Aguero captainers with food for thought. On the flip side, the Sky Blues place top for clean sheets (seven) and bottom for shots inside the box conceded (72) away from home soil.
