Norwich City boss Daniel Farke says his team are fully focused on clinching Premier League promotion against Blackburn

Norwich boss Daniel Farke says his team are "fully focused" on gaining a point or more against Blackburn on Saturday, which would see them promoted to the Premier League.

Avoiding defeat against Tony Mowbray's Rovers would see Norwich seal their return to the top flight after a two-season absence.

Ahead of this weekend's promotion-deciding Sky Bet Championship clash, live on Sky Sports Football, Farke said: "We are fully focused, we are in a pretty good position, with us being two games to go and six points clear [of third position].

"It's healthy that you have doubts, when you're too calm and think it's already done before the fat lady sings then it's not a good sign.

"Blackburn are in good shape, it's a difficult game for us and we have to be really switched on."

Farke took over at Carrow Road in May 2017 and has masterminded Norwich to 25 victories in the league this season.

His side haven't lost since suffering a 3-1 away defeat to Preston in February, and the German insists he will be pleased whichever way his team can achieve promotion.

"Without a doubt Sheffield United will win three points tomorrow, we have a home game in front of our excited fans and we want to win all three points," Farke added.

"If we have to go to Aston Villa and win the game I will always take it, to do it in front of our fans at Carrow Road would be a really special moment but you can't choose.

"We take it like it is, I would have taken it if we were promoted when I was on the bus or the plane after the last game, if the result is that we are promoted I am happy with everything.

"Fans need to help us get a big result, it's like 90 minutes plus extra time and we need all their support. We need to stick together, if everything works in our way then we can have a party."
