Tottenham Hotspur will take on Norwich City tomorrow at White Hart Lane, with Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas still looking for his first competitive win as boss. Norwich City will be hoping to bounce back from their opening day 5-0 defeat at the hands of
Fulham, and will be happy with at least a point as they start life under new manager Chris Hughton.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Hughton returns to Tottenham with the Canaries, and faces a tough task against a new look Tottenham side that has been further strengthened by the arrival of Moussa Dembele from Fulham. Norwich will be hoping that their captain and striker Grant Holt
can cause an upset and be able to frustrate the Tottenham backline, just like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Romelu-Lukaku-c31672 had done for West Brom last week.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham are expected to play their regular starting eleven, with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jan-Vertonghen-c17814
in the middle.
The Belgian gets another Premier League start on account of Younes Kaboul’s absence from the side due to a knee surgery he underwent recently.
New signing Moussa Dembele is expected to start in midfield alongside Sandro. The player terrorized Norwich in the opening week as he managed an impressive 96% pass completion rate and two assists. The Belgian is seen as a vital signing for the club, and
will be put to the test tomorrow.
Up front, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aaron-Lennon-c3062, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Gareth Bale start in a three pronged attack that will feed striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who will play as the lone striker.
Tottenham have a very formidable line up and will be looking to take the game to Norwich and sealing all three points.
Norwich City
Chris Hughton will have most of his key players in Saturday’s clash after resting them for Norwich’s League Cup meeting with Scunthorpe United on Tuesday. However, Elliot Ward, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Steven-Whittaker-c34215 and Elliot Bennett are still doubtful.
Sebastian Bassong will start at centre back alongside Leon Barnett. The midfield will comprise of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-c31222 Snodgrass, Jonny Howson, Bradley Johnson and Anthony Pilkington.
Up front, Wes Hoolahan will play right behind striker and captain Grant Holt, who will be looking to impose himself on the Spurs defenders.
Norwich have had a decent campaign in the Premier League last season, but have not quite made the same flying start they did last year. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gareth-Bale-c14422, who scored twice against them last season.
The Canaries have the quality to make it a difficult and evenly contested match, but Tottenham’s superior midfield and home advantage will prove to be the difference between both teams and help Villas-Boas win his first three points as Spurs boss.
