Preview: Manchester City vs. Norwich City

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini must decide whether to drop goalkeeper Joe Hart for the visit of Norwich City.

Hart's error cost City against Chelsea last weekend, and after Costel Pantilimon performed well against Newcastle United in the Capital One Cup, the England international could see himself dropped to the substitutes' bench.

Pellegrini could also recall Jesus Navas, with Javi Garcia dropping out of the side.

A trip to the Etihad Stadium couldn't have come at a worse time for Norwich City, who have conceded 11 goals in their last four games.

They also lost 4-0 at Manchester United in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday, and boss Chris Hughton is expected to make changes.

Hughton will definitely be without Robert Snodgrass, who suffered a head injury at Old Trafford.
