    TEAM NEWS

    Norwich defender Marc Tierney will miss the rest of the season after undergoing groin surgery.

    Zak Whitbread will again be absent with a calf problem, but Kyle Naughton returns after being ineligible for Monday's win at Tottenham.

    Manchester City are hopeful midfielder Yaya Toure will return after missing the midweek victory over West Brom.

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

    MATCH PREVIEW

    "Where are you? Let's be 'avin' you! Come on!" Delia Smith's famous rallying call to the Norwich fans during Manchester City's last visit to Carrow Road may have been echoed by Roberto Mancini to his players this week.

    Delia's battle cry was to no avail. City came from behind that day in February 2005 to win 3-2. Mancini has already bizarrely admitted that whatever he says from now on in will also have no bearing because the title race "is over".

    Despite the victory over the Baggies when they rediscovered their joyous flair of the autumn, City are still outsiders for the title. But they're not finished yet and Mancini's stark pessimism is premature.

    The return to fitness of Vincent Kompany and Joleon Lescott is timely. David Silva rediscovered his spark in midweek. Without the irritant Mario Balotelli the team spirit was more positive, and another victory will keep Manchester United sweating.

    Mind you, City will have to be on song to beat the Canaries, who've lost just one of their last seven home league games and looked very good at Tottenham over Easter. Most of their players have come up through the lower tiers of the Football League or the part-time game. They've all shown great appetite for the Premier League and appreciation for the position they now find themselves in.

    Grant Holt has provided one of the most romantic stories of the season. The former tyre-fitter has netted against Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Newcastle among his 15 goals. He can get another big scalp against City.

    The title race pendulum swung towards Manchester United with their last-gasp winner at Norwich in February. Can it swing from them again at Carrow Road if City win? Nothing else will be good enough.

    Fair play you lads! You have got a cracking team there! If only you could have played like that through your lean spell, you'd have had the title wrapped up by now! Go for the jugular, rip the title out of those smelly reds' hands! <ok>
