Norwich City manager Alex Neil is aware of the realities of the Premier League but intends to play expressive football against the top English clubs next season.

The 33-year old Scottish tactician led the Canaries to promotion with a 2-0 win over Middlesbrough in the Championship play-off final at Wembley on Monday and is now targeting taking on the top teams in England's premier competition.

"I am under no illusions it is going to be extremely difficult next season," he told Sky Sports.

"But I am in the early stages of my managerial career and the teams I have had we try to go and express ourselves and go and play."
