Manchester City lean hardest on Gianluigi Donnarumma (7.9), Erling Haaland (7.9), Antoine Semenyo (7.9) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.
Phil Foden is out for Manchester City — index 6.1, against 8.8 for the best cover we hold at his position. Well covered.
Norwich lean hardest on Jack Stacey (7.3), Vladan Kovacevic (7.3), Ben Chrisene (7.3) on our Player Index — how much of the side's football each man accounts for, out of 10. It measures involvement and cover, not performance.
The projected score for this one is Manchester City 4 - 0 Norwich, a home win by 4 with 4 goals in it — on the right side of the 2.5 line.
The read: Manchester City at 1.1 is short enough that the value, if there is any, sits on the handicap or in the goals market rather than the outright.
