Preview

Norwich were no match for Premier League giants Manchester City on Thursday night, suffering a 5-0 away defeat in the Carabao Cup third round. The Canaries have won three of their last five in the Championship heading into gameweek eight.

Bolton won the bragging rights against fellow Championship newcomers Cardiff in gameweek seven as Thierry Gale scored the only goal of the game in the 90th minute. That result ended a four-match losing streak for the Trotters.
