Manchester City take on Norwich City in the EFL Cup on Thursday evening in an intriguing clash that could be a show of how good the Premier League side are over the Championship Canaries.Man City vs Norwich head to head overviewDate: Thursday, 17th September 2026Kick-off: 7.30pmVenue: Etihad StadiumTV Channel: Sky Sports+, NOW TV with a Sky Sports Subscription.Man City vs Norwich quick tipsBack over 3.5 goals at 8/11 on MidniteBet on Haaland to score 2+ goals at 2/1 on Sky BetHaaland to score 2+ goals, Antoine Semenyo and Iliman Ndiaye to score at 11/1 on bet365Man City vs Norwich predictionMan City are doing great in the Premier League under Enzo Maresca and despite the big changes they’ve won their first four games in the Premier League and are also unbeaten since their 3-0 loss to Arsenal in the FA Community Shield.They’ve got the Sunderland game to prepare for on Sunday, but despite that Erling Haaland is still suspected to start amongst a big starting XI that may only see a handful of changes, with the international break after the weekend perhaps part to play in that.City have been scoring just enough in recent games, and in their last three all their goals have been scored by Haaland – something that could be changed in this fixture.Man City vs Norwich betting tipsGoals, goals and more goals?With Man City the clear odds-on favourites it’s no surprise to see the likes of Haaland also so short to score anytime.But there’s bound to be goals from others if Man City are as strong as the odds suggest considering they’re up against Championship side Norwich, who have been struggling at times to keep the goals out.Norwich conceded four goals last time out against Middlesbrough including three in the first half, despite Norwich themselves scoring in the first minute.Norwich have also conceded in every single game this season, as many as nine games across all competitions.They’ve had their odd solid win though, like 4-1 over Burnley and 3-1 against Sheffield United but look vulnerable against City.Haaland should surely be able to net at least a couple against Norwich who have conceded 16 in those nine games.Antoine Semenyo will likely be in the starting lineup too and is a strong player that will thrive on Thursday evening against Norwich, surely to score.The Ghanaian has yet to score in the Premier League this season but netted as many as seven in just 17 appearances for City last year when departing Bournemouth in the January transfer window.He scored nearly as many as he did in previous seasons for the Cherries, and of course will thrive against a lower league side.Iliman Ndiaye also made the move from a Premier League rival, and will likely play a huge role with a rare start for the City side.The Senegal playmaker was a stand out for Everton and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him star here.Back over 3.5 goals at 8/11 on MidniteBet on Haaland to score 2+ goals at 2/1 on Sky BetHaaland to score 2+ goals, Antoine Semenyo and Iliman Ndiaye to score at 11/1 on bet365Man City vs Norwich predicted lineupsMan City expected lineup: Rulli; Khusanov, Reis, Guehi, Lewis; Kovacic, Bouaddi; Allan, Ndiaye, Semenyo; Haaland.Norwich expected lineup: Grimshaw; Stacey, McConville, Cordoba, Chrisene; Wright, Mattsson; Maghoma, Schwartau, Musaba; Makama.Man City vs Norwich latest oddsFind the latest Man City vs Norwich betting odds here.
