Norwich City manager Chris Hughton relishing Chelsea challenge

Norwich manager Chris Hughton is looking forward to the challenge of taking on Chelsea and Jose Mourinho when the two teams meet on Sunday.

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton is relishing the opportunity of taking on Chelsea at Carrow Road on Sunday.

The hosts will head into the Premier League contest on the back of a good win away at Stoke City last week.

"I'm looking forward to the challenge of playing against Chelsea with the array of options and talent that they have," Hughton told reporters at the pre-match press conference. "These are the games that you have to look forward to."

The Norwich boss is also looking forward to pitting his wits against Jose Mourinho and praised the Portuguese's impact on the English game.

"It's always a nice thought to be competing against the best managers," he said. "I think Mourinho has been great for our game.

"Whatever his achievements are this time around I think he is still one of the managers that has added to our game."

Norwich's win against Stoke last week eased the pressure on Hughton after a difficult start to the Premier League season.
