Lambert: FA Cup 'deserves respect'

Norwich City boss Paul Lambert has said that managers must show the FA Cup the respect that it deserves.

The Scot, who is against fielding a weakened side to save his stars for the league, admits that he will make changes against Leicester City this weekend but that he will expect no drop in the team's level of performance.

"You've got to give the FA Cup the respect it deserves," he said. "There will be some changes in the team, but it won't be a weakened side, that's for sure.

"I won't treat it lightly. It's a game that we're going to try and win and it's a chance to get through. Any team I pick will go to try and win a football game."

Meanwhile, the Canaries boss has admitted that Premier League survival still leads the side's list of priorities.
