Pep Guardiola has told his Manchester City players Sunday’s visit of Norwich is a trial for next month’s crunch clash against Real Madrid.

City host the Canaries in a relatively-meaningless contest in the final round of Premier League games.

Guardiola’s side are already assured of second place, while bottom side Norwich have long accepted relegation as their fate.

“We lost there, that game showed our inconsistency this season,” said Guardiola, whose side have still notched 97 goals en route to a comfortable runners-up finish.

“The last game was the first time we won four games in a row. Last season we did 14 (in a row) and before that 18. We’ve not been consistent.

“It’s the last game at home. We want to win, maybe score 100 goals again and then prepare for the game against Madrid.”
