By Jack Prescott, Rugby Editor | 23 November 2012

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton has revealed his delight at the defensive displays from his side this season.

Last Saturday's 1-0 win over Manchester United at Carrow Road saw the Canaries keep their fourth clean sheet in six matches.

"I have been very pleased with the team defensively," Hughton told reporters. "We will be severely tested on Saturday, but we are buoyed by the good spells we have had this season.

"Clean sheets are always pleasing for a goalkeeper and a back four but it is a real team effort. The back four have a group of players in front of them who are giving them good resistance."

Norwich come up against Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Saturday.
