Norwich City head coach Philippe Clement has spoken to the media before the Canaries' Championship match against Swansea City on Saturday (15:00 BST).

Here are some of the key points:

On the chances of Norwich making the play-offs: "I read somewhere there is 0.7% chance or something that we make the play-offs. The same computer gave the club 37% chance to go down when I took over... all we can do is go full for the three points and we will see."
Kellen Fisher (pictured) made his 100th appearance for Norwich last time out. Clement says his initial impression of the full-back was that he might struggle against some of the "beasts" in the Championship, and that he has been proven wrong. He is one of the surprises from the squad he inherited.
Winger Ali Ahmed should return to the squad providing he does not have any setbacks from Friday's training.
Defender Ruari McConville is back in the squad after pulling out of the starting line-up against Derby County on Tuesday with sickness.
On the topic of VAR not being brought in for the Championship, Clement says he respects the opinions of others, but he believes it would be beneficial for a number of reasons, including player safety and getting decisions right.
Clement says he thinks the match with Swansea will be a good watch for any neutrals as both teams try and play good football.
