CHRIS HUGHTON is fighting to save his job at Norwich and will have his future discussed by the club?s board.
The Carrow Road chief, whose team lost 2-0 at Everton yesterday, is under increasing pressure after a string of poor results.

The Canaries have not won a Premier League match in six attempts and are now just two points outside the relegation zone.

Hughton said: ?We have to start picking up points very quickly, we are aware of that.

?We had a good 45 minutes against Manchester United last month and when you have those moments you have to score goals.

?When you don?t, you put yourself under more pressure.

?Our next league game is against Hull and because it is at home, it becomes even bigger.

?But I do take pride that in the last half hour against Everton we made a game of it.?

Hughton, 55, has been under the cosh all season and club officials are now running out of patience.

Norwich face Fulham in an FA Cup replay on Tuesday. If Hughton is given a stay of execution, he is certain to be axed if his team lose at home to Hull on Saturday.

Ex-Canaries hero Malky Mackay would the choice of most fans to replace Hughton.

But he is unlikely to be available until the summer due to a legal battle with Cardiff owner Vincent Tan.

Celtic manager Neil Lennon would also be on the club?s wanted list.
