Norwich
Tottenham
- Sebastien Bassong is a doubt to play against former club Tottenham due to the calf injury that kept him out of the Liverpool game.
- Norwich will be keen for him to return after they conceded 5 goals in the game he missed.
- Norwich have no other fresh injury concerns so are likely to field a familiar side.
- Tottenham this week confirmed that Lewis Holtby will be joining the club in January rather than the summer and he could be involved for the trip to Carrow Road.
- Jermain Defoe missed the loss at Leeds at the weekend with a hip injury that he may eventually need surgery on, but painkilling injections are likely to allow him to play.
- If Defoe doesn't make it, with Adebayor still away at the African Cup of Nations, Dempsey will play up front, and Holtby could go straight into the attacking midfield trio.
With Norwich's poor run of form, I can't see them getting anything out of this game. Bale to be influential as he was last season. 0-2
hotspur.. defoe scored... 0-2
Spurs should win this but if defoe is out we could struggle. reckon we'll nick it though
1-2 dempseyy
