Brighton boss Potter has sympathy for promoted Norwich

Brighton boss Graham Potter has sympathy for promoted Norwich City.

Daniel Farke's men – who were relegated from the top flight after finishing rock bottom in the 2019-20 campaign – have taken only a single point from their opening seven games before welcoming the Seagulls to Carrow Road on Saturday.

“I think the gap between the Championship and the Premier League is big," said Potter.

“The Championship is still difficult and still brings its own challenges. But I think the Premier League is a completely different animal in many ways.

“They've had a tough start and when you have a tough start you can be under a bit of pressure. There's a story there already in terms of not winning games.

“From our perspective, we've been there a little bit as well. You just have to deal with it and carry on working.

“There's good people at Norwich. I'm pretty sure they'll be doing that, which is getting on with the job, working hard and trying to change it around.

“I'm pretty sure that win will come, just hopefully for us it's not at the weekend."
