As for the visitors, while Norwich might still be seen as a landslide favorite for the drop this season, Daniel Farke s men did send shockwaves across the Premier League last weekend. Putting in an eye-catching display on Friday night, the Canaries picked up a 1-0 win over top-four contenders Leicester at Carrow Road, a result that brought an end to their four-match winless run in the top-flight. While last year s Championship winners may have booked a North London showdown thanks to a 2-1 win over Burnley last month, a huge part of Norwich s continued issues at the foot of the table have come down to some problems outside of East Anglia. Hit with what was a 3-0 hammering away at Wolves in their last appearance on the road, the former Borussia Dortmund coach has seen his side land just a pair of away victories against Premier League opposition since opening the 2019/2020 campaign. While their shock 1-0 win over the Foxes will certainly have improved the atmosphere around Carrow Road, Wednesday s guests do hold a worrying record against Spurs. Despite grabbing a point against Tottenham on home soil earlier in the season, Farke s men were hit with a 2-1 defeat when they made the trip to North London back in January.
Team News
Norwich have doubts over striker Teemu Pukki and midfielder Alex Tettey with both suffering from illness. However, manager Farke is expected to freshen up his team as he did in the previous rounds at Preston and Burnley.
Key Factors to Consider
When the two sides faced off in North London back in January, Tottenham picked up a 2-1 win.
However, Spurs have lost their last three consecutive matches across all competitions and have lost back-to-back matches on home soil for the first time since April 2019.
Norwich have recorded just two away victories against Premier League opposition since opening the 2019/2020 campaign.
Tottenham have shipped two goals in four of their last five appearances.
Five of Norwich s last six away fixtures have seen over 2.5 goals at full-time.
Conclusion
While Tottenham might see Wednesday as a golden opportunity to make a return to winning ways, Norwich will undeniably still be boosted by their eye-catching 1-0 win against Leicester on Friday night. With Spurs continuing to show some worrying issues at the back and five of the Canaries last six matches away from Carrow Road seeing over 2.5 goals at full-time, we re backing another lively encounter in North London in midweek.
Verdict: Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals
