Alex Neil wants Norwich to show no fear on visit to Liverpool

Norwich City manager Alex Neil has said the Canaries can take confidence from Liverpool's unconvincing home form when they visit Anfield on Sunday.

Brendan Rodgers' side were thrashed 3-0 by West Ham three weeks ago, while their 1-0 win over Bournemouth was secured by a Christian Benteke goal that should have been ruled out for offside.

Norwich beat Bournemouth 3-1 at Carrow Road last week to move level with Liverpool on seven points, and Neil told the official Norwich website: "Going to one of the top six away from home is always going to be tough.

"But as some of the other teams have shown this season it's more than achievable to go and give a good account of yourself and hopefully get something from the game.

"Bournemouth got beaten 1-0 and gave a good account of themselves, and we were better than Bournemouth in our game.

"Liverpool are a good side, though. They're well managed, and we're going to have to make sure we put in a good performance.''

Norwich have yet to face a side that finished in the top six last season, but their highly-rated manager said they would not be looking just to try to shut up shop.

"We can't be gung-ho or silly about how we approach the match, but we'll approach it in the fashion that we'll go to win the match,'' he said.

"We've got to go to Anfield believing that we can win. I think that's the biggest bit. The thing I say to the players is that the worst thing that can happen is that you'll lose the game. Why be scared?"
