Norwich Away - Opposition Fan View, Pub Ammo & Team News

The Norwich fans seem to be quite confident about the game against us. Whether it's genuinely because they are doing pretty good for a team that's just come up from the championship and are scoring lots of goals. Or whether its because they just haven't come up against us in a while, either way, they have a good feeling about this.

They flag up that Naughton is serving a suspension after picking up his 5th yellow card. Of course he is already ineligible to play against us, which means his tactical booking means he is serving a suspension for a game that he's already ineligible for. Sneaky.

"Tierney must watch out for Walker-Bale as they has lots of pace and skill. Tierney gets caught ball watching at times and needs to be on top of his game against Spurs." 

So there we have it, they get tactical bookings like Real Madrid, and Tierney is the weak link up against our pace.

Norwich Fan Prediction: Norwich Win 65%, Draw 10%, Spurs Win 25%

Team News

Rafa VDV is in contention for the trip to Norwich after scans revealed that the hamstring injury he suffered in Thursday night's Chelsea game was not as serious as first thought. Apparently, he felt a bit of a twinge in is hamstring and came off as a precaution. Defoe and Kaboul will both need fitness tests due to hamstring injuries and King is unlikely to play having completed two games in five days. Lennon, Dawson and Huddlestone are out.

Friedel

Walker   Gallas   Bassong   BAE

VDV   Modric  Sandro  Bale

Defoe   Adebayor

We should have enough in attack to score goals and Gallas and Bassong will need to be on the top of their games to keep the Norwich strikers quiet. 3-1 Spurs. COYS.
