Tottenham are seen to be having an excellent season. However, only Newcastle (12) have dropped more points from winning positions than Spurs (11) so far this season in the Premier League. Furthermore, Norwich City have lost just one of their last five Premier League meetings with Tottenham Hotspur. Who is going to claim the win? Let us know in the comments section.

So, erm, things are not looking too rosy for Manchester United at the moment who have just lost to Stoke City.

Alex Neil meanwhile is delighted with how his side are developing: "We have shown more than enough now against the bigger teams to show others we can win in this league. We have been unlucky that we haven't got one [a win like this] sooner. I think in the Man City game we played really well and I was hoping we could get something from that game but unfortunately we made a few errors that cost us."

Tottenham Hotspur
However, Pochettino did make a more serious point, too: "People don't realise the effort we make and how hard our players work because we are the youngest squad in the Premier League. Sometimes they deserve more praise for the position they have. Maybe the team deserve more praise than we have so far."

So, Mauricio Pochettino has had some rather interesting things to say about Tottenham this week. Always thought he would be more of a rock guy.

For Norwich, it is two changes from the team that beat Manchester United 2-1. Youssouf Mulumbu and Vadis Odjidja come in for Wes Hoolahan and Gary O’Neil.

It is pretty much a full strength team from Mauricio Pochettino, with Harry Kane leading the line ahead of an attacking midfield trio of Eriksen, Alli, and Lamela. Davies is preferred to Rose at left back.
