Chris Hughton: 'We can't show fear against Arsenal'

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has told his team to play without fear at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

The Canaries are languishing 18th in the Premier League ahead of their trip to North London, whereas Arsenal are top of the table and have not lost since the opening day of the season.

"What you can't do is you can't go to the Emirates with any type of fear," the 54-year-old told the club's official website.

"It's a challenge for us – we're off the back of a disappointing defeat to Chelsea, especially after the manner in which we played.

"What we need to do is take all the good things from that performance into the game at Arsenal, but we're aware of what the task is because of how well they're playing at the moment."

Arsenal won this fixture 3-1 last season.
