Norwich City's Cameron Jerome: 'We cannot be afraid of Manchester City'

Norwich City striker Cameron Jerome has called on his side not be afraid of Manchester City when they travel to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

The Canaries have lost their last three matches on the spin in the Premier League, and were knocked out of the Capital One Cup during the week when they lost to Everton on penalties.

However, Jerome is adamant that his side have to rise to the challenge of facing the league leaders in the hope of taking a positive result from the match.

He told the club's official website: "Things haven't gone our way of late but we want to turn that around this weekend.

"They are a fantastic side, which we're well aware of. We can't give them too much respect though because we deserve to be on the same pitch.

"We take encouragement from what the likes of West Ham have done against them. It shows they're not unbeatable."

Norwich are 16th in the table ahead of their clash against the Citizens.
