Sports Mole previews Norwich City's trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City.

Manchester City will hope to end the season on a positive note after the sacking of manager Roberto Mancini earlier this week.

Brian Kidd guided City to a victory over Reading in his absence, and he will be keen for his players to put on a performance against Norwich.

Kolo Toure could miss out after coming off injured in midweek, with Maicon in contention to take his place.

Norwich City boss Chris Hughton would have been delighted that his side secured their Premier League status with a 4-0 win over West Bromwich Albion last weekend.

It was just the second victory in 10 games for the Canaries, and Hughton could try to gain a bit of momentum for next season by retaining the same starting lineup for their trip to Manchester.
