Manchester City will be looking to bounce back from their last-gasp defeat to Chelsea a week ago when they welcome Norwich City to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
A Joe Hart error gifted Fernando Torres a late goal to seal a 2-1 win for Chelsea, leaving City (5-1-3) six points off the top of the table. Reserve goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon came into the team for the extra-time win over Newcastle in the League Cup in midweek, and manager Manuel Pellegrini admitted after the game that he is considering his options.
