Manchester City will host Norwich City at the Etihad Stadium in Week 2 of the Premier League 2021/22, Saturday (21/8/2021). This is a duel between the defending champions against the promoted team.
Both teams swallowed the bitter pill in the opening weekend. Manchester City were beaten 0-1 at home to Tottenham, while Norwich were beaten by the visitors Liverpool 0-3.
For Norwich, these early weeks have been tough. After against Liverpool, and lost, now they have to play away to Manchester City who are certainly so ambitious to win.
Manchester City, who have an expensive new midfielder in Jack Grealish and a trillion-dollar squad, started the season with two 0-1 losses. They lost to Leicester City in the Community Shield, then lost at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
They are certainly determined to rise when they serve The Canaries at the Etihad Stadium later.
