Norwich boss brands Man Utd test 'biggest game of our lives' as Canaries battle to survive
NORWICH manager Alex Neil is confident his players are ready for the "biggest game of our lives" when they tackle Manchester United at Carrow Road aiming to lift themselves out of the relegation zone.
Alex Neil's Norwich won 2-1 at Old Trafford when the sides met in December
With just three matches left, the Canaries are 19th, yet only two points behind 17th-placed-Newcastle, who have played a match more.
Norwich kick off tomorrow lunchtime, so could leave their rivals playing catch-up, with Sunderland at home to Chelsea while Newcastle travel to relegated Aston Villa.
Another home game against Watford comes next week and Neil accepts the club are now entering a make-or-break period.
United manager Louis van Gaal admits his side must win "four cup finals" to save their season - and his job.
Aside from Norwich today, United face West Ham on Tuesday and at home to Bournemouth next Sunday to keep alive hopes of pinching fourth place and a qualification ticket for next season's Champions League.
And then they need to lift the FA Cup for the first time since 2004 by beating Crystal Palace at Wembley on May 21.
"We must win every game," he said. "We more or less face four cup finals. I cannot afford to lose them and Manchester United cannot afford them."
