Preview: Norwich City vs. Tottenham Hotspur

Sports Mole previews the Premier League encounter between Norwich City and Tottenham Hotspur.

Norwich City manager Chris Hughton will be hoping to ease the pressure surrounding his future with a positive result against Tottenham Hotspur.

Chief executive David McNally has admitted that plans are in place should the club opt to part company with Hughton, but a win against Spurs would earn the former Newcastle United boss some breathing space.

Midfielder Jonny Howson could earn a place on the bench after recovering from a back injury.

Tottenham head coach Tim Sherwood is expected to recall several first-team players who missed the Europa League defeat to Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk on Thursday night.

Striker Emmanuel Adebayor is struggling with a leg injury, but he is expected to feature in attack in place of Roberto Soldado.
