Man City vs Norwich – 5 Key Tactical Battles That Could Decide The Game

2. Gael Clichy vs Nathan Redmond

When you consider Hughton's safety first approach to coaching he is likely to rest Robert Snodgrass after he was hospitalized by the injury picked up against United. That means more precocious legs will start on the right-hand side for the visitors. City left back Clichy has put in shaky performances this season, so the raw talent of Norwich winger Redmond should be an interesting subplot. This head-to-head looks like going one of two ways. Either Clichy will have Redmond in his pocket as the naivety and poor decision making of youth see the Canaries come a cropper, or the England Under-21 wideman will skin the French fullback alive.
