The Canaries lost 3-1 at Stamford Bridge and 2-0 at Old Trafford, but have picked up 11 points from their other six games to sit ninth in the Premier League. "We know how hard it's going to be, they're a club with great tradition and history and have some great players, but I don't think our players are frightened by it," said Lambert on Friday. "We're not going up there with any trepidation or fear. We are going there to try to win a game the way we did at Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford. "Yeah we got beaten, but we went and gave it a go and we will give this one a go as well." Boosted by the 3-1 home win against fellow promoted side Swansea last weekend, he added: "We're playing at a high level at the minute and we're a match for most of the teams at this moment in time. "But we have to sustain the standard we've set ourselves - there's only a handful of games gone - and hopefully the lads will do it. "The way we are playing we are creating a lot of chances and converting some. The lads are full of confidence and have that spirit they've had for the last few years. "That seems to have taken us a long way, but there's also a lot of ability in the side. "As the game goes on your concentration level has to be really high. That's the nature of top-level football and you have to handle it - you make no apology for it because that's the level you aspire to be." Lambert played under Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish at Celtic. He added: "They don't come any bigger than him and his enthusiasm is great for the game. "He's done brilliant in turning it round for them, while Steven Gerrard coming back has given them a major lift." Steve Morison, who laid on the first goal for Anthony Pilkington after just 50 seconds last Saturday, is available for the trip after suffering cramp and being replaced in the second-half. But Norwich are still waiting for Zak Whitbread, Elliot Ward, Daniel Ayala and James Vaughan to recover from injuries.
