Norwich City boss Daniel Farke says he is expecting an aggressive game against Ipswich, the Pinkun report.
Speaking ahead of his first East Anglian derby, Farke knows what to expect from the game and draws comparisons to some of the biggest meetings in Germany.
It is a team that plays with a lot of aggressiveness. They will have a fighting attitude a big will to have a home win. We have to be prepared for those duels but also to bring out abilities and strengths.
There is always something special about a derby. I am used to this. In Germany it is Dortmund against Schalke 04, that is the most important game of the year. I have spoken about how you are only allowed to speak about the postcodes, not the rival teams, there is a lot of emotion. We know this is a big game and we are looking forward to it.
The two teams are set to meet at Portman Road on Sunday, with both sides enjoying a relatively strong start to the season.
Farke’s men come into the game in impressive form, they’re unbeaten in their last eight games in all competitions.
While local rivals Ipswich have won just once in their last four games, sitting one point behind the Canaries in the Championship table.
A win for Farke on Sunday could lift Norwich into the play-off spots, depending on other results.
Both sides will be hoping for more out of the derby this season with both games ending in 1-1 draws during the last campaign.
