Norwich City midfielder Jonny Howson has spoken out in the build-up to the Canaries visit to Stamford Bridge at the weekend and has said that they need to be wary of a Blues backlash.
Chelsea have had a poor start to the Premier League season; accumulating just 12 points from their first 12 league games. This is a whole 20 points less than they had at this stage last season.
Norwich currently sit above Chelsea in the Premier League table and could potentially further their gap if they manage a win on Saturday against the reigning champions.
However, central midfielder Jonny Howson has said that Norwich need to be wary of a Chelsea backlash following their latest loss to Stoke City 1-0 before the international break. Norwich, on the other hand, beat Swansea 1-0 at Carrow Road, Howson scored the goal and showed the defensive solidity that will be needed to get anything out of Chelsea.
I don’t think there’s any easy games in this league.
They’ve still got world class players so it’s going to be a difficult game. I think the pressure comes from within yourself of wanting to do well.the 27-year-old midfielder continued. You go into every game wanting to put in a certain performance, work hard and do the best of your ability.With regards to the pressure and easing it I don’t think that changes too much.Sometimes when you come up against the big teams it is difficult but we’re still wanting to go up against those teams and put in a good performance and hopefully come away with something
