Manuel Pellegrini: "It's a very difficult game, it is very important the way the team reacts after the defeat at home. We play against a good team in Norwich, a team that tries to play, so we hope that we can win again. It will be absolutely different. They will want revenge for what happened here in Etihad. They have a good team that play good football, it is very important for us to continue playing the same way we are doing away because the last four games we won all of them."

Chris Hughton on wantaway Wes Hoolahan: "Wes will be in the squad. There is only one thing that is certain now - Wes will be here. Wes is very committed. We have a 14-game end-of-season run-in and he's very much there for the challenge, very much part of the squad. He's very motivated. He's knuckled down very well in training. He is a good player as we are all aware of and he will be fighting the same as everyone else for a place."
