Team news ahead of Saturday lunchtime's Premier League clash between Norwich and Manchester City at Carrow Road (kick-off 12.45pm).

Norwich will still be without defender Zak Whitbread.

Whitbread has missed the last two matches with a calf problem and will not be risked, but Kyle Naughton returns after being ineligible for Monday's shock victory at parent club Tottenham.

Marc Tierney (groin) and Daniel Ayala (knee) were on Friday ruled out for the rest of the season but James Vaughan (hamstring) could have a reserve run-out next week.

Manchester City hope to have midfielder Yaya Toure back.

The Ivory Coast international will be given a fitness test after missing the midweek win over West Brom with a knee injury.

Controversial striker Mario Balotelli is again missing as he serves the second game of a three-match suspension.

Norwich (from): Ruddy, Ward, Naughton, Drury, Crofts, Pilkington, Surman, E Bennett, Fox, Hoolahan, Holt, Jackson, Morison, Wilbraham, Steer, Johnson, Martin, Howson, R Bennett.

Man City (from): Hart, Pantilimon, Richards, Zabaleta, Lescott, K Toure, Savic, Kompany, Clichy, Kolarov, Nasri, Milner, Johnson, Y Toure, Barry, Pizarro, De Jong, Silva, Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko.
