Norwich City are currently taking the 11th in the table with 21 points in 17 games, scoring 27 goals and conceding only 31. Norwich will play host to Tottenham to Carrow Road on Tuesday with the possibility of jumping up one place to eighth, but several first-side members will miss out.

Lambert’s team are one of only two sides yet to keep a clean sheet this term, with Blackburn Rovers being the other. They have played 8 Premier League games this season on Carrow Road. On home ground, Norwich City has won 4, drawn 2 and lost 2 matches, and this ranked the Canaries 8th in home team performance in the English Premier League.

Norwich has no fresh injury concerns ahead of this evening’s game. Kyle Naughton, on loan from Spurs, ruled out through suspension after picking up his fifth yellow card of this season over Wolves last week.

Tottenham Hotspur team is almost superb at home ground, currently third in the table with 45 points in 18 games, scoring 47 goals and conceding only 14. Since then the team recorded 6 consecutive victories, over Liverpool, Arsenal, QPR, Bolton, Sunderland, Aston Villa which makes them a favorite for this match as well.

Spurs has played 8 Premier League games this season away from home. On away ground, Tottenham has won 5, drawn 1 and lost 2 games, and this ranked Spurs 3rd in away team performance in the English Premier League.

Harry Redknapp side travel to Carrow Road with doubts over Rafael van der Vaart (hamstring injury). Aaron Lennon (hamstring Injury), Michael Dawson (Achilles Injury) and Tom Huddlestone (ankle Injury) are all certainly ruled out.
