Tottenham Hotspur vs Norwich City - Match Preview

Team news ahead of Spurs vs Norwich at White Hart Lane in the Premier League this afternoon.

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to get back to winning ways as they look to secure Champions League football next season. They welcome mid table Norwich City who have been impressive this season and are battling for a top half finish. Today's game at White Hart Lane has a 3pm kick-off and won't be screened live anywhere in the UK. Gareth Bale is hoping to play after taking an ankle knock late in the 0-0 draw at Sunderland on Saturday but could be rested after boss Harry Redknapp has promised he will likely make changes ahead of today's game. One of those changes is likely to be Aaron Lennon slotted in to make his first start in nearly a month, along with a likely recall for striker Jermain Defoe. Ledley King is likely to play after a late test on his knee. Norwich boss Paul Lambert is also likely to make changes just two days after Saturday's draw against Everton with a probable recall for winger Anthony Pilkington. Simeon Jackson, Andrew Crofts and Zak Whitbread will all be vying to play. Kyle Naughton is ineligible to play for Norwich against his parent club Tottenham. Marc Tierney (groin), Daniel Ayala (knee) and James Vaughn (knee) won't field either with injuries.
