Norwich boss Farke seeking Cup shock to spark survival push

Norwich City boss Daniel Farke hopes an upset in the FA Cup can spark the club's relegation fight.

The Canaries face Spurs in North London tomorrow night, on the back of a valuable 1-0 win over Leicester City in the Premier League last Friday.

Speaking before facing Spurs, Farke said: "To be honest you can always be concerned about the additional load and the focus goes away but I think it is the other way round.

"For me it's quite important to be good in the cup competitions. I'm a deep believer in cup competitions.

"I also think you can take lots of confidence out of this game if you have a good performance and a good result and for that it's an important competition for us.

"It's not like we are just fully switched on for the league. Of course the league is important without any doubt but we also want to be as successful as we can in the cup competitions especially the FA Cup.

"It's the most prestigious cup competition in the world and we are already in a good position in the fifth round and we know we have the chance to write a little bit of history.

"It would be the first time in nearly 30 years to go into the sixth round. Many supporters will follow us tomorrow and we will try our best to make them proud."
