Manchester City face Norwich City at the Etihad Stadium on Thursday, September 17, 2026, in the third round of the Carabao Cup, with kick-off scheduled for 7:30 p.m. UK time, or 9:30 p.m. Cairo time. The reigning champions are aiming to begin their title defence with a victory and secure their place in the next round of the competition.
Manchester City head into the match in strong form after winning their last five games across all competitions. Their latest victory came in the Manchester derby, where Erling Haaland scored the decisive goal in a 1-0 win over Manchester United.
The Carabao Cup represents another opportunity for City to continue their successful start to the 2026/27 campaign. The club are defending the trophy after beating Arsenal 2-0 in last season's final at Wembley, with Nico O'Reilly scoring both goals.
Norwich City, meanwhile, arrive at the Etihad looking to produce a major cup upset against the Premier League side. The Championship club will face a difficult challenge against a Manchester City team that has started the new season with a series of positive results.
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca is also expected to use the Carabao Cup to rotate his squad and provide opportunities to several players. Phil Foden will miss the match through suspension, while academy players could also be involved.
For viewers in Egypt and several other Middle Eastern countries, the match will be available on beIN Sports HD 2, with beIN Sports English, beIN SPORTS CONNECT and TOD also listed among the available viewing options.
With a place in the fourth round at stake, Manchester City will look to maintain their winning momentum and take another step towards defending the Carabao Cup, while Norwich City will hope to make the most of their opportunity against the reigning champions.
