With eight points from the last 12 available, Norwich City travel to the capital in good form for Sunday’s Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur (2pm KO).

City will be looking to increase their three point lead over Newcastle United and close the gap on Watford, who are 17th ahead of the weekend.

The opposition

Spurs sit sixth in the Premier League, two points off the top four following their 2-0 win at home to Brentford on Thursday night, when they setup in a 3-4-2-1 formation.

They began the season with Nuno Espirito Santo in charge, but appointed Antonio Conte at the start of November after five defeats in seven league games.

Since then, Spurs have been unbeaten in the league, drawing 0-0 away to Everton, beating Leeds United 2-1 at home and putting two past Brentford. An away game at Burnley was postponed due to snow.

However, towards the end of November they were beaten by Slovenian side Mura in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Son Heung-min is the club’s top scorer in the Premier League this season with five goals, but Harry Kane leads the way in all competitions with eight goals.
