Vito Mannone urges Arsenal not to underestimate Norwich City when the two teams meet at the weekend.

Arsenal goalkeeper Vito Mannone has warned his teammates to be on their guard against Norwich City this weekend.

The Gunners travel to Carrow Road on Saturday evening to take on a team that have yet to record a victory in the Premier League this season.

Nevertheless, Mannone believes that Norwich will provide his team with a "difficult test".

"Norwich is another team that plays really well, especially at home. It is not an easy one again," he said. "I would compare it to West Ham. It will be a difficult test for us, we need to dictate the game and impose ourselves. If we let them do what they know, it will be a difficult game.

"We need to stand up, defend well as we have. That is always our base. From there we have massive quality and we can win."

Arsenal are currently seventh in the Premier League table.
