Is Man City v Norwich on TV?
Sky Sports+ has Man City v Norwich, kicking off at 19.30 BST on Thursday 17 September 2026. It is the only Carabao Cup tie of the night, the rest of the third round having been played on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Manchester City have won five in a row and have not lost since the Community Shield, where Arsenal put three past them. Four straight league wins have them second on 12 points, and Porto were beaten 2-0 in their Champions League opener.
Sunday was rather less convincing. Erling Haaland’s winner at Old Trafford stood despite Enzo Fernandez being offside and involved in the move, and United have spent the days since asking how.
City are the holders, having beaten Arsenal 2-0 in last season’s final, and nine-time winners of the competition overall.
Phil Foden is suspended after his red card in the derby and Jeremy Doku is a serious doubt with a calf problem. Enzo Maresca is expected to change most of the side, with Geronimo Rulli and Allan both in line for debuts and Vitor Reis, Rico Lewis, Mateo Kovacic, Ayyoub Bouaddi and Iliman Ndiaye all in contention.
The history is bleak for the visitors. City have won 39 of the 72 meetings between the clubs and the last three without conceding a goal, scoring 14 in the process, the most recent of them a 4-0 in February 2022.
Norwich sit 12th in the Championship on nine points, with three wins and four defeats from seven games, the most recent of those a 4-3 loss at Middlesbrough on Saturday. Four wins in their last six across all competitions still suggests they are in better shape than the table implies.
MK Dons were beaten 4-1 in the first round and Cardiff City 2-1 in the second. Philippe Clement is without Gabriel Forsyth, Mirko Topic, Ali Ahmed and Lucien Mahovo, all of them with knee injuries.
Daniel Grimshaw is set to start in goal for a second cup appearance this season. Mohamed Toure has five goals in seven but may find himself on the bench for this one.
