Norwich City (A) - Sat 12th Feb, 17:30 | Pre-Match Thread

[MCFC1993]

Kick off time 17:30 (GMT). Live on Sky Sports for those in the UK.

Norwich have only lost once in their last 6 games (all competitions), winning 4 of them, definitely found a bit of form under Dean Smith.

That being said, we should batter them if we show up. The aim must be to get the game won early and get rested up for Sporting on Tuesday.

In terms of the title race Liverpool play Thursday (10th Feb) and then don't play until Sunday, so we could be anywhere between 9-12 points clear going into this, having played a game more.

Be an interesting team selection ahead of the game in Portugal next Tuesday.

Tough game, Norwich found some form,

Title winning match these though, go get those 3 points, god wills it!

Walker will surely come back in if he's out of the Lisbon game.

Maybe Gundogan as he hasn't been starting many games lately.

Other than those two, same team for me.

Should be a decent game as Norwich usually play open, attractive football. Their form has improved of late, so won't be an easy game. Interesting to see the starting 11, bearing in mind the CL game on Tuesday.

Might be Zinchenko in at left back as well. Maybe Stones in for one of Ruben or Aymeric.
Otherwise same team I’d guess.

we have 5 subs to utilise against Sporting too.

Zinchenko surely can't play against sporting without featuring here, he's been out for too long, gundogan deserves more game time than he's currently getting, mahrez has to play on the right, I really want to see our best option on the left in foden play on the left and jesus upfront if he's fit, if not sterling up top. that front 3 is our best options in their best positions
