Manchester City will be looking to extend their winning run in all competitions to three matches when they face relegation-threatened Norwich City at Carrow Road on Saturday teatime.

City, who have beaten the Canaries 5-0 in each of their last two meetings, took another step towards retaining their Premier League crown with a 2-0 win over Brentford at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday evening, courtesy of goals from Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne.

After seeing their 12-game winning run in the league come to an end against Southampton prior to the recent winter break, it was the ideal response that manager Pep Guardiola would have been hoping for.

Now, City and Guardiola will fancy their chances of adding another three points to their ever-growing tally when they lock horns with the Canaries, who are currently camped inside the relegation places.

Although City will, rightfully so, be confident of amassing all three points in Norfolk, they will be aware that surprises are capable of being sprung, as proven by their 3-2 defeat at Carrow Road in September 2019.

But how do the pundits think City will get on against Dean Smith's side?

"Norwich are unbeaten in three league games now and they have given themselves a chance of staying up, which did not look very likely at the turn of the year," Lawrenson told BBC Sport.

"But this is Manchester City they are up against here. Pep Guardiola's side are just relentless at the moment - nothing really changes and you just know they will find a way of winning this game even if they don't play particularly well."

Prediction: Norwich City 0-3 City.

Paul Merson - Sportskeeda

"This is a Premier League game that Norwich just have to get out of the way,"
