New Norwich City boss Chris Hughton is excited to be back in the Premier League.

Hughton signed a three-year contract and now he is licking his lips in anticipation of taking on Fulham on the opening weekend.

He told the club's official website: "Generally you'd like a home tie on the first day of the season, I think most people would, but we do have a couple of home games in pre-season for the supporters to be there.

"I'm sure they will be in fantastic voice at Fulham, then of course we're at home to QPR.

"I think overall it's a fairly even spread of fixtures. There is always going to be run of games that are quite hard but I think overall it's quite even.

"We've got Chelsea on December 26th and Manchester City on December 29th. The minus is of course that it's two very difficult games on the bounce, but on the plus side it's two home games for our supporters, and it means that around Christmas time they don't need to travel as far."
