Norwich are under the greater pressure to triumph in Sunday’s East Anglian derby, according to Town captain Luke Chambers.

The defender said: “We go everywhere to win and we’ve shown that throughout the season. It’s going to be a difficult game — we all know that — but I would say the pressure is definitely on them to win.

“They are at home, they are flying at the minute and they will want to make it six wins in a row.

“But we’ve not laid down for anyone this season and we won’t at Norwich either.

"We’ve spent nowhere near as much as they have — 100 grand on Freddie Sears and 10 grand on Tyrone Mings — yet we’re knocking around with the big boys and we’re full of confidence.

“Norwich at their place is a big, big game. The fans have been looking forward to getting revenge, so to speak, for the defeat we suffered at home in August last year.

"We are going there in good form and they have won five in a row so it’s all set up for a big game.

“It’s so tight at the top that one defeat can see you drop four or five places so we’ll be doing everything we can to at least stay where we are in the league or even push on to the top two, which is what we’re still looking at.

“They will be the same after the tremendous turnaround since their new manager took over but I think the pressure has been on them all season to perform and get straight back up.

“They have a squad who have all played in the Premier League — I don’t think they lost too many and they have definitely added more this season.

“We’ve been the underdogs all season and teams are probably taking a little bit more notice of us now because we’re hanging in there and still producing the goods.”
