Norwich City manager Chris Hughton denies suggestions that his players have lacked a competitive edge so far this season, despite not one of them receiving a yellow card thus far.

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has denied suggestions that his side have lacked a competitive edge so far this season.

The Canaries, who have claimed two points from their opening three matches, are the only Premier League team that have yet to receive a yellow card.

"It's a good thing," said Hughton. "We've certainly been competitive enough. It's something you speak to them about in the close season and we also have a referee's visit in the pre-season.

"It is something which is coincidental. We compete very well and on another occasion there are some tackles which are near the edge which might go the other way.

"It is something that I welcome, though, and it might be something that further down the line stops us picking up a suspension and that has to be a good thing."

Norwich host West Ham United at 12.45pm tomorrow.
