Norwich v Tottenham team news and stats

Norwich could hand debuts to new loan signing Patrick Bamford and fellow recent recruit Timm Klose when they host Tottenham in the Barclays Premier League on Tuesday night.

Bamford has joined on loan from Chelsea and could come straight into Alex Neil’s side, while Klose could come in after the Canaries shipped five goals in their last outing against Liverpool.

Andre Wisdom is available having been ineligible against parent club Liverpool while Gary O’Neil serves the last game of his three-match ban following his sending off at Stoke.

England midfielder Dele Alli is expected to return to Tottenham‘s starting XI.

Alli was an unused substitute in Saturday’s 4-1 FA Cup fourth-round win at Colchester, while goalkeeper Hugo Lloris and centre-back Toby Alderweireld are among the other players likely to return.

Defender Jan Vertonghen (knee) and midfielder Ryan Mason (ankle) remain out.
