West Ham v Norwich (15:00 BST)
Image source, Rex FeaturesComing into the game off the back of their shock Carabao Cup loss to League Two side Crawley Town, Norwich City head coach Daniel Farke is not underestimating his opponents on Saturday.
The Canaries have not beaten West Ham in the Premier League since November 2013.
"West Ham did well last season and did good work in the transfer market. We know we face a top-class side with lots of options in the offence. The transfer of [Sebastien] Haller shows ambitions and we have to respect them," Farke said.
"I'm full of respect for [Manuel] Pellegrini. He's worked with some huge clubs and won lots of trophies. He knows how to lead ambitious clubs."

West Ham v Norwich (15:00 BST)
Image source, Rex FeaturesWest Ham come into this game off the back of their midweek Carabao Cup win at Newport County.
This time last season they were bottom of the Premier League and without a point from their opening three games. How does Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini see today's match going?
"I expect a similar game to the one we played against Watford. Norwich play this system and they played exactly the same way against Chelsea and Liverpool," he said.
"They are a very good team and we will need to play a very good game to get the three points."
