Pep Guardiola Provides Major Fitness Update on Man City Duo Ahead of Norwich Trip

 Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided an update on the availability of Gabriel Jesus and Cole Palmer for his side's Premier League match against Norwich City on Saturday.

The Premier League are nine points clear of Liverpool in the Premier League table following Jurgen Klopp's win over Leicester City on Thursday after beating Brentford 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night.

A perfectly fined penalty from Riyad Mahrez and a comfortable 69th-minute strike from Kevin De Bruyne extended City's unbeaten league run to 14 matches in a row, as the Sky Blues continued their quest to clinch the Premier League title.

Ahead of the resumption of their UEFA Champions League campaign when they travel to Portugal to face Sporting Lisbon next week, Pep Guardiola's side face a trip to East Anglia, where a rejuvenated Norwich City The Premier League awaits the champion.


Gabriel Jesus and Cole Palmer were both unavailable for City on Wednesday, with the pair also missing out on last weekend's 4-1 Emirates FA Cup win over Fulham.

Ahead of Saturday's visit to Norwich, Pep Guardiola has confirmed that both Jesus and Palmer will miss the clash against the Canaries, although he expects the former to feud soon.

Dean Smith's side are just one point away from safety, with the Canaries unbeaten in their last three games, with important wins against Everton and Watford, and a draw against Crystal Palace in midweek.

Manchester City last suffered a surprise 3–2 loss at Carrow Road, although they have claimed back-to-back 5–0 victories in their last two matches against Norwich.

Premier League leaders will be hoping to make it three wins on spin after wins over Fulham in the FA Cup and Brentford in the Premier League after a two-week break.
