Sergio Aguero: Has four goals in last two games

Manchester City are unbeaten in five trips to Norwich City ahead of Saturday’s Carrow Road clash, with Sergio Aguero the Canaries’ usual tormentor.

Sebastien Bassong and Andre Wisdom are closing on returns, but Alex Tettey will miss the rest of the season.

Manchester City, meanwhile, welcomed Kevin de Bruyne back to training this week but will not risk the midfielder at Carrow Road.
