Norwich vs Spurs; SS1 4pm KO

Tottenham will aim to bounce back from Europa League defeat when they visit Carrow Road to take on Norwich City in the Premier League on Sunday (kick-off 4pm).

Tim Sherwood's side endured an arduous trip to Ukraine on Thursday night, losing their round of 32 first leg 1-0 to Dnipro in testing conditions.

While Spurs head into the game on the back of a busy period, Norwich have been resting since February 11 when they lost 2-0 to West Ham United at Upton Park.

Just one win in their last 10 Premier League outings means Norwich sit precariously in 16th, just one point above the dreaded drop zone.

As the pressure mounts on Canaries boss Chris Hughton, his main concern comes up front, with Norwich producing only four goals in their last 10 fixtures; summer signings Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Johan Elmander have managed to score a solitary goal between them in 1961 minutes of football.

There have been glimmers of promise for Norwich however, as they held free-scoring Manchester City to a goalless stalemate to earn a creditable point before losing to West Ham a week later.

Although Tottenham head into the Super Sunday showdown off the back of a Thursday night trip to Europe, Sherwood will hope to field a refreshed line-up with several key players set to return following niggles.

As attention return to domestic action, Spurs will be eager to maintain their pressure on the Premier League top four, with the North London club only three points behind fourth-placed Liverpool.

A 1-0 victory over Everton recently gave Tottenham the edge in the race for European places, while a 4-0 thumping of Newcastle further boosted their morale.

In the reverse fixture, a Gylfi Sigurdsson brace was enough to seal three points for Tottenham at White Hart Lane in September, at which time they were coached by Sherwood's predecessor, Andre Villas-Boas.



Norwich City manager Hughton has numerous injury concerns ahead of their Super Sunday clash against Tottenham Hotspur at Carrow Road.

Hughton will be made to sweat on the fitness of Jonas Gutierrez (calf) and Jonny Howson (back), while centre-back Ryan Bennett could return from his recent injury.

Defenders Michael Turner and Elliott Bennett remain sidelined with their respective injuries.




Tottenham head coach Sherwood was without several players for their 1-0 Europa League defeat to Dnipro on Thursday.

Most are expected to be available at Carrow Road with the likes of Hugo Lloris, Kyle Walker, Aaron Lennon and Emmanuel Adebayor in line to return following niggles.

However, Sandro (calf), Jermain Defoe (hamstring), Erik Lamela and Vlad Chiriches (both back) are all set to miss out once again.



Opta Facts

None of the 63 substitutes to have played for Norwich City in the league this season have scored or assisted a goal for the Canaries.
Tottenham have won six and lost just one of their last 10 Barclays Premier League games against Norwich City.
Norwich City summer signings Ricky van Wolfswinkel and Johan Elmander have produced just one goal and six shots on target between them this season, despite playing a combined tally of 1961 minutes of Premier League football.
Emmanuel Adebayor has scored eight goals from 13 shots on target in just 908 minutes of Premier League football this season, averaging a goal every 114 mins.

Nah our defence has been really good so far especially with Lloris on top form too, and Norwich struggling to score.

Dembele wide again, did well there vs Newcastle. Eriksen on the bench again.

@SpursOfficial: Today's team - Lloris; Naughton, Dawson, Vertonghen, Rose; Capoue, Bentaleb, Paulinho; Lennon, Adebayor, Dembele. #COYS

@SpursOfficial: Our subs today - Friedel, Fryers, Chadli, Eriksen, Townsend, Kane, Soldado. #COYS
