Chris Hughton: 'Norwich City can beat Stoke City'

Chris Hughton believes that beating Stoke City to go above them in the Premier League would be big win for Norwich City.

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has targeted a win over Stoke City on Saturday at Carrow Road in order to move above Mark Hughes's side in the Premier League table.

Hughton said that Norwich's form at the stadium, where they have been beaten just four times in the league, would be vital in the battle against relegation and that starts with Saturday's game against Stoke.

"They're on the back of a good result against Arsenal, but we're very close in this league table, and a win on Saturday gives us the opportunity to go above them in the league - that's how tight it is," he told the club's official website.

"Stoke have had a fair bit of stability in their team - they haven't had to make too many changes because they haven't had too many injuries.

"We need to get back to the home form that we've shown in recent games, particularly against Manchester City and Tottenham where we were able to give our support what they wanted."

Norwich lost their last game 4-1 against Aston Villa.
