'Football is not chess between the coaches. It is not me versus Arsene Wenger or me versus Antonio Conte. I am modest, I know these big coaches have a great career and I don't want to compare myself with those.
'Of course, I have my philosophy, I want to win, I want Norwich City to win. It is not about me winning a chess match. I want my players to be successful and I will try to help them do that.
'I don't see this as a personal challenge between me and a legend like Marcelo Bielsa.'

'Norwich is a team that plays better than the points they have. They won their first game and their enthusiasm will be very high. I don't think I have to make changes (to the team) this Saturday, but I will next Tuesday (League Cup).

REFEREE – SIMON HOOPER
Still remembered in these parts for disallowing Cameron Jerome's overhead kick on the opening day of the 2015 Premier League season at home to Crystal Palace. A bit more of a good omen last season; City beat both Birmingham and Bristol City when Hooper was in charge.
