Manchester City begin their League Cup title defence with a home match against Norwich City at the Etihad Stadium. Here’s all you need to know about the match timing, past stats, and where to catch the live stream across various regions.

Manchester City begin their defence of the League Cup title this week. After triumphing over Arsenal with a 2-0 scoreline in the final at Wembley, thanks to a brace from Nico O'Reilly, the stage is set for another exciting season.

This marks City’s ninth victory in the tournament, falling just short of Liverpool's record of ten. Under Pep Guardiola, the club has lifted the trophy five times, showcasing a strong track record.

Now, under Enzo Maresca, they are once again touted as one of the favourites. On Thursday, they’ll welcome Norwich City, managed by Philippe Clement, to the Etihad Stadium.

The last three encounters between these two sides have seen City dominate, putting 14 goals past the Canaries without reply. Experts expect a similar outcome in this clash.
