RALPH Hasenhuttl doesn’t think Norwich’s Premier League position reflects their quality.

Daniel Farke’s side are bottom of the table but have earned praise for the way they play football and how they’ve stuck to their principles.

And Hasenhuttl believes this alone is worth giving them the utmost respect.

He said: “I see that they are sticking 100 per cent to their philosophy and it’s absolutely fantastic what they are doing with the limits they have.

“They have done a fantastic job this season, even though they only have 21 points. When I see them playing, it is really surprising that they don’t have more.

“We know it’s a tough game and we are expecting it to be a difficult game for us.”

Norwich have recently sparked hope of a dramatic escape due to earning a win and a draw in February but they haven't won since.

Despite this new-found confidence, Hasenhuttl won't be shocked if they try to pile the pressure on his side.

He added: “They can’t surprise us because when you look at the results they’ve had at home against very good teams, it shows how different this team is at the moment.

“They are playing fantastically with the ball and also without it.

“We are really aware of the opponent and we know it’s a very, very tough game for us.”
