Norwich pulled off one of their best results this season last weekend when they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-2 at White Hart Lane. A 66th minute wonderstrike by Elliott Bennett put the Canaries in the lead after Tottenham equalized Anthony Pilkington's 13th minute goal. Norwich are now in the top half of the table and could realistically finish in the top seven with a strong finish to the season. Against Manchester City, though, they odds are stacked against them.
Roberto Mancini has already admitted that the title race is over but Alex Ferguson disagrees. Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Wigan proved Ferguson right as the Latics took down the table toppers in an inspired performance at the DW Stadium. Manchester City's 4-0 defeat of West Bromwich on Wednesday showed they still have some fight left in them. Sergio Aguero netted a brace before Carlos Tevez and David Silva added to the tally. Norwich will be a tough match at home, but Mancini's squad looks to have what it takes to pull this one off.
