Daniel Farke: We have to keep in control oftheir players

Daniel Farke says NorwicCity’s defence will be “in brilliant shape and of a high class” to compete against Sheffield Wednesday’s physical threat on Saturday.

City lost 5-1 at Hillsborough in May with Atdhe Nuhiu scoring a hat-trick for the hosts. However, Farke believes the City defence will be able to cope against the Owls physical presence this time around.

“One of their big strengths is their physical strength and tall offensive players, so if [Adthe] Nuhiu or even [Steven] Fletcher are playing they are big and strong,” Farke said.

“It’s difficult but we have to keep in control their players and keep them as far away from our goal as we can.
