Alex Neil: We can handle hype

Alex Neil insists Norwich thrive in high-pressure situations and can turn the intensity of today’s Premier League relegation battle with Sunderland to their advantage.

Norwich boss Neil has told his players to embrace all the scrutiny and hype around the Carrow Road clash, where victory would leave the Canaries favourites to beat the drop.

A win would send Norwich seven points clear of Sunderland, a margin Neil admits would be “a really great position” despite the Black Cats’ game-in-hand.
