Chris Hughton is unfazed by Saturday's clash with Arsenal despite Norwich struggling for early-season form.

Battling

Norwich had several players away on international duty over the past fortnight, including Russell Martin who was an unused substitute in both of Scotland's disappointing World Cup qualifying defeats. The defender maintains despite a testing first two months of the new domestic season, the mood in the Norwich dressing room remains upbeat. "We know we have performed well enough to get that win, but we haven't got it," he said. "It is going to be six or seven teams battling it out all season to stay up and we know that and as long as we are at the top of that mini-league we will be okay. "The sooner the win comes for everyone around the club, the better - we might stop people saying 'it is going to be a long old season for Norwich'. "For us, we know we have deserved to have it. It will come, there is no anxiety about it."
