Tottenham Hotspur welcome Norwich City to White Hart Lane on Saturday afternoon, looking to bounce back from their defeat against derby rivals Arsenal in the last match. Spurs have made a good start to the season, winning their opening two
matches by a 1-0 margin, with both the goals coming from new signing
Roberto Soldado through penalties. Manager Andre Villas-Boas will be
hoping to create more chances from open play and could give home-debut
to new summer signings Erik Lamela and Chrisitian Eriksen.
Norwich have had a mixed start to the season so far, having
experienced all possible results of a loss, draw and a win, in first
their three games so far. However, they hold a good record against
Spurs, and managed a 1-1 draw at this venue last time around.
Team News:
Striker Emmanuel Adebayor will miss this tie, after the Togo
international given permission to remain in his country until Monday due
to personal reasons.
Midfielders Etienne Capoue and Aaron Lennon are both out with ankle
and foot injury while Gylfi Sigurdsson will also miss out with a leg
injury.
Striker Gary Hooper has returned to full training after recovering

Bennett is also available for selection while Elliott Bennett will miss
out with a knee injury.
