Team : Norwich City vs Stoke City
Competition : Barclays Premier League
Stoke, Tony Pulis believes that the three new members of the Barclays Premier League can make a positive impression in the top flight this season.
After being favorites to go straight down when it was promulgated in 2008, Stoke have defied their critics rather than settle in the Premier League, and are often cited by fans and managers as an example to try follow.
Last season they finished 13th, his lowest position during the final three seasons of Premier League and secured a place in Europe by reaching the FA Cup final.
The potters are put in a great position to reach the group stage of the Champions League with a 1-0 win over FC Thun on Thursday night, and traveled directly from Switzerland to Norway ahead of Sunday `s clash of the league.
Paul Lambert Canary campaign began promisingly with a 1-1 draw at Wigan, QPR and Swansea but were beaten 4-0, Pulis believes he has what it takes to do well.
He said: "We had our way of doing things and we have stuck very rigidly to the construction of more than three years and will learn on the fly.
"I think all three clubs have very good managers. You look at Paul Lambert (Neil) and Brendan Warnock (Rodgers) and all they have done fantastic job getting their teams promoted.
"It's a different challenge and a different set of rules. It is not a pitch. You learn very quickly and we must take things on board.''
Pulis knows against a promoted club in their first home game in the Premier League will present significant challenges for Stoke and a return trip from Europe, two days before the preparation is not ideal.
Next weekend the Potters also have to travel far to West Brom after the second leg of their clash with Thun, but at least it is in the Britannia Stadium.
Pulis said: "It will be a difficult game because the game (Thursday) and then go back and play two away games, which is a difficult decision for the club head will face the challenge and do. Maybe possible.
"I'd rather have played Norwich below the line because it is their first home game in the Premier League.
"If we go back to when we arrived, we are with Aston Villa in the home opener and ended up winning 2-1.
"Norwich is a fantastic club, with a president who is a supporter of mass, which is outdated with respect for tradition and have a large following.
"Norwich have been sold, which is a very well supported club and the atmosphere will be fantastic. We have to roll up your sleeves and make sure we have a clear mind and give my best. "
Pulis will make changes to the side that beat Thun in the Champions League.
Pulis rested Asmir Begovic, Jonathan Woodgate, Jermaine Pennant and Glenn Whelan in Switzerland and they could all return to the starting lineup.
Potters boss must also decide whether to include Matthew Upson in the team after the England defender made an impressive debut for the club against Thun, while Rory Delap (hamstring) is doubtful.
Lambert Norwich manager knows his team will have to raise his game to another level.
Canaries opened the Barclays Premier League with a hard earned 1-1 draw at Wigan, fighting back from a goal down before the conclusion of a point.
However, when Stoke make the trip to Norfolk, Norwich Lambert expects to face another stern test of their newly acquired top-flight credentials.
