Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe has warned his side that Norwich City will provide a difficult challenge ahead of Tuesday evening’s fixture in the Carabao Cup.
Howe, as quoted by the Eastern Daily Press, spoke to the media on Monday as he previewed Bournemouth’s home clash against Championship outfit Norwich.
The Cherries have been in impressive form throughout the early stages of the Premier League season. Howe’s side head into this fixture on the back of a 3-0 win away at Fulham.
Norwich, however, are in a similar vein of form. The Canaries will be looking to build on their 1-0 win at home to Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
Bournemouth boss Howe was quick to highlight Norwich’s strong run of form in recent times and urged his side to avoid complacency. The 40-year-old said:
They’re a dangerous team, one of the form teams in the country, so we know how hard it will be.
Their strength this season has been with their team, they have an attacking philosophy and they have momentum so we have to be very careful that we don’t drop our standards.
Norwich have lost just one fixture in their last 12 competitive outings and will be out to spring a surprise in the Carabao Cup when they visit the Vitality Stadium.
