The FourFourTwo Preview: Fulham vs Norwich

The Norfolk club parted company with Chris Hughton on Sunday following a 1-0 home defeat at the hands of fellow-strugglers West Brom 24 hours earlier.

The Carrow Road outfit have won just twice in their past 11 Premier League matches, leading the board to take the decision to relieve Hughton of his duties with just five games remaining.

Hughton was replaced by Adams, a former Norwich player who masterminded the club's FA Youth Cup triumph last season, and the 48-year-old wants his side to harness the change in management when they visit Craven Cottage.

"Hopefully what's happened here this week gives us fresh impetus and if training is anything to go by, we're going down there with confidence," he told the club's official website.

"It (management) is different. The phone doesn't stop ringing, there's a million and one things to do but I'm loving it.

"I've got good help and support from the staff we've got here and I'm thoroughly enjoying it."

Fulham's final fixtures appear to be decidedly kinder - Felix Magath's men also face Tottenham, Hull City, Stoke City and Crystal Palace - so a win for the hosts would really set nerves jangling around Carrow Road.

The German, who took over from Rene Meulensteen in February, oversaw just his second league win in charge of the London club last time out as Hugo Rodallega's late header sealed a much-needed 2-1 success at Aston Villa.

"We needed a win and fortunately we got it," he said in a press conference on Thursday.

"It helps a lot. It's an important win. I am convinced we will stay in the league. I think we have to win on Saturday, and then we go from there."

Norwich's away record will also be a concern for Adams, as they have suffered seven successive defeats on the road and not win on their travels since December 7.
