Norwich City head coach Liam Manning goes up against his former side when the Canaries host Bristol City in the Championship on Saturday (15:00 BST).

Manning joined Norwich from the Robins in June but has not managed to win a game at Carrow Road since taking over the hotseat.

Here are some of the key points from his pre-match press conference:

  • Defender Jose Cordoba sustained a hamstring injury while on international duty with Panama and Manning said he will be out until mid-November

  • Shane Duffy is back training, but not available for Saturday's game

  • "It hurts and it's something I'm not happy about", Manning said the team will have to move on from the East Anglian derby defeat earlier this month

  • Manning said he is not feeling sorry for himself following a bad run of results for his team

  • On the home form: "We have to be better, simple as that"

You can listen to coverage of Norwich City v Bristol City with BBC Radio Norfolk on Saturday, coverage starts at 14:00 (BST).
