Only one team has prevented Norwich from scoring in their past nine home Premier League games, while City have won just two of their past 10 Premier League games on the road.Mersons predictionYou might as well start with a zero because Norwich cant score a goal at the moment. That is their Achilles heel. Its not as though they havent looked like finding the net because they have the chances, but they just cant finish. Sergio Aguero is likely to be key for Man City once again As for Man City, people are saying they should be looking over their shoulder at West Ham, but I think its Arsenal who should be worried. They have tough away games to come, including one at the Etihad, and they better be careful they dont get leapfrogged.City could actually be the danger to Leicester now at the top of the table. Looking at Tottenham and Arsenals fixtures, I think City are the only ones that can catch them, and they should pick up another win this weekend.PAUL PREDICTS: 0-3 (Sky Bet, 10/1)BettingNorwich are up against odds of 5/1 for the victory and 29/10 just to secure a draw, with Sky Bet holding Manchester City as 4/7 favourites. The Canaries are also unfancied in the battle to avoid relegation at 11/4 while their visitors were trimmed from 6/1 to 11/2 for the Premier League title following their 4-0 thumping of Aston Villa last weekend.Sergio Aguero unsurprisingly heads the first goalscorer betting at 11/4 while Sky Bet struggle to pick a main threat from Alex Neils attacking options, with Patrick Bamford, Cameron Jerome and Dieumerci Mbokani all rated 17/2 chances to break the deadlock.
