Premier League preview: Norwich City v Queens Park Rangers

Norwich City welcome Queens Park Rangers to Carrow Road on Saturday with both sides looking to avenge their disastrous opening day defeats.

Both Chris Hughton and Mark Hughes watched on as their teams were humiliated 5-0 against Fulham and Swansea respectively.

New signings Michael Turner and Robert Snodgrass debuted for Norwich but were unable to prevent defeat and Hughton has called on his troops to bounce back this weekend.

“You have to remember it’s the first game of the season. Defeats are defeats, and you have to be able to bounce back and learn from them,” he told the club’s official website.

“We got a harsh lesson, and the players and myself need to learn from this. We need to make sure it makes us stronger and more resilient.”

Norwich completed the double against QPR last season, recording two 2-1 victories.

But it will be a different encounter with the west London side also reeling from their loss to Swansea, which Hughes described as ’embarrassing’.

“If you’re not careful it can be embarrassing if you’re two or three behind and you’re chasing the game,” he said.

“It was certainly that.”

Debutants Robert Green, Junior Hoilett, Fabio and Park Ji-Sung all started the match but offered little against the Welsh outfit, who had failed to score in five of their previous six trips to Loftus Road.

Hughes is known for his ruthless approach so expect to see QPR up and about for this clash from the beginning.
