Michael Dawson says the players can't wait to get back into action against Norwich City on Saturday.

The Canaries arrive at the Lane for a 3pm kick-off in the Premier League.

After winning our first four matches of the season - two in the Premier League, two in the Europa League - we suffered our first defeat in the North London derby last time out.

“It feels like it’s been a long couple of weeks here waiting for this next game,” said Michael.

“We would have liked another game straight away to put things right, especially after losing at Arsenal. It’s such a blow for everyone to lose there, we know that.

“But we’ve had a good start to the season and I know come Saturday, the fans will be right behind us and we’re all determined to get back to winning ways.”

Michael knows we’re in for a test against Chris Hughton’s men.

“Norwich did well last season,” he added. “We played them early on at the Lane, they caused us a few problems and managed to get away with a draw. Of course, we then lost in the League Cup and drew in the Premier League at Carrow Road.

“They’ve made some big signings like van Wolfswinkel, Fer and Nathan Redmond from Birmingham. They have a good squad, always a tough team to play and they will be fired up - so will we.”
