Norwich City midfielder Bradley Johnson says that he will "block out" the crowd at the Emirates, as he returns for the first time since he broke Bacary Sagna's leg in last year's fixture.

Norwich City midfielder Bradley Johnson has said that he will "block out" the crowd during Saturday's game, as he returns to the Emirates for first time since he broke Bacary Sagna's leg in last year's league fixture.

Johnson, 25, who was a trainee at Arsenal, admits that he hasn't spoken to Sagna since the challenge.

"I don't know what sort of reception I will get but whatever it is like I will just block it out. It won't bother me at all," Johnson told The Mirror.

"I will just go out and play my normal game. When I go in to a tackle I want to win it but I never go out with the intention of hurting anyone.

"Tackling is a massive part of my game. I like a challenge and I like competitive games."

Johnson moved to Norwich City in 2011 from Championship side Leeds United.
