Norwich City's Chris Hughton looking forward to facing Newcastle United

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has revealed that he is looking forward to the club's meeting with Newcastle United this weekend.

The Canaries beat West Ham United 3-1 in their last outing before the international break and Hughton is positive that they can carry their good form into Saturday's game at St James' Park.

"When you're on the back of a win, and you've got a little bit of momentum, then of course they are the times that you're very much looking forward to the next game," he told the club's official website.

"It's certainly a better feel going into the international break on the back of a win though. If you've lost that game, that two weeks can become a very long two weeks.

"It was a big win for us against West Ham, but we're also very conscious of where we are in this league. We're not that many points away from teams that are deemed to have had a good start to their season."

Norwich are currently 15th in the Premier League table with 11 points.
