Norwich City's Anthony Pilkington confident ahead of Chelsea visit

Norwich City midfielder Anthony Pilkington is feeling confident ahead of his side's home game against Chelsea on Sunday.

Norwich City midfielder Anthony Pilkington believes that his side will be looking to pull off the same shock result against Chelsea as they were able to do against the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal last season.

Norwich welcome Jose Mourinho's Chelsea to Carrow Road tomorrow, and Pilkington is looking to employ the same kind of tactics that have brought the Canaries success against big teams in the past.

"Last season when we got results at home against Manchester United and Arsenal the tempo was really up there," said Pilkington to reporters ahead of the game.

"We were in their faces and picked up some really good points against the really big teams and we'll look to do that again. Even though we are all professionals, everyone loves playing against the big teams in the big games.

"As a player, I can tell you first hand that when you get games like Chelsea, Manchester United and Manchester City, you enjoy it a lot more."

Pilkington has only recently come back into Chris Hughton's starting XI, having just returned from injury to play in Norwich's 1-0 victory over Stoke City last weekend.
