Pre-match quotes from Neil and Bassong

Norwich manager Alex Neil sat down with the press this morning to speak ahead of City’s trip to the Boleyn Ground to face West Ham tomorrow

On the back of last weekend’s draw at Anfield, the City manager was asked about West Ham and how the Canaries will approach tomorrow’s game:

“We know what West Ham’s strengths and weaknesses are. We’ll line up accordingly.”

He also had this to say about Slaven Bilic’s side:

“They’ve been doing great, paticularly against three of the bigger teams. They’re going to be a difficult proposition. They’ve got good pace and quality at the top end of the pitch.”

Sebastien Bassong was the chosen player to answer questions from the media, and he spoke about the team’s current momentum:

“We’re in a good position at the moment. As long as we keep playing how we have been then we should be fine.”

Seb was asked about the opposition, and what he expects from the game:

“It will be a different test for us, but it’s about what we do. We’ve had a good start which is always important as it means we’ve got points early on.”

In terms of team news for the Canaries, in-form Matt Jarvis will be ineligible to face his parent club. Alex Tettey is free for selection after he served his suspension for receiving too many yellow cards. Gary Hooper and Youssouf Mulumbu are both still injured.
