Tottenham Hotspur vs Norwich City
English Premier League, KO: 14:00 Dec 5, 2021, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur have the chance to claim a third straight English Premier League victory as they host Norwich City on Sunday. Norwich have shown some fight in recent weeks but Spurs have looked good lately and should have the upper hand here.
Tottenham Hotspur are still trying to build some momentum under their new manager but have shown plenty of improvement in recent weeks. Antonio Conte has led the team to sixth on the table, just two points behind West Ham in fourth.
Spurs head into Sunday’s clash off the back of a 2-0 victory over Brentford in their midweek fixture with Son Heung-Min among the goals. That was the second straight win for the London club, who also beat Leeds United 2-1 in their previous outing.
Home form has been pivotal for Tottenham in recent weeks. The North London club have claimed five wins from their last six matches in front of their fans.
Norwich are also feeling the new manager bounce and have looked a different side since Dean Smith took charge. They are in good form and travel to Tottenham unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches.
Survival does nor appear so far fetched for Norwich, who have finally climbed off the foot of the table and are now just three points from safety. They played out a 1-1 draw at Newcastle United in their previous fixture with Teemu Pukki’s equaliser earning them a share of the spoils.
Norwich City are still unconvincing on their travels and have won just once in seven away matches this season. Some of their heaviest defeats have come on the road, including a 5-0 loss to Manchester City while they were also beaten 7-0 by Chelsea.
