This Saturday sees the visit of Spurs' legend Chris Hughton's Norwich City to White Hart Lane to face Andre Villas-Boas' Tottenham Hotspur. The two sides come in to this match off the back of mixed fortunes in their previous outings; Spurs having lost their first match of the season against North London rivals Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium and Norwich having won their first match of the season at home to Southampton. In any case, both teams should be looking to get a result from this match, with confidence high after a flurry of new signings for each of them in the summer transfer window. With that in mind, here are five things we expect to see when Spurs take on Norwich...
5. A Brand New Spurs
Spurs will have their three latest signings available for the first time from the start this Saturday, after having seen Erik Lamela only fit to start from the bench in their last match and both Christian Eriksen and Vlad Chiriches not included in the squad previously. Chiriches is still waiting on his work permit coming through, but Andre Villas-Boas is said to be confident of the papers clearing in time. If that is indeed the case, Chiriches will still likely start on the bench, but both Lamela and Eriksen will be expected to start in a completely new look Spurs forward line. Could they supply the creativity that Spurs will be lacking? Will Chiriches get a chance to come on and make an impression? We shall have to wait and see - either way, Spurs' squad will be looking very different this weekend.
