Norwich v Tottenham

TEAM NEWS

Norwich defender Kyle Naughton is suspended but would have missed the match anyway against his parent club.

Another on-loan defender, Ritchie de Laet, could return but Elliott Ward and James Vaughan remain out.

Tottenham's Rafael van der Vaart could play after a scan revealed he had not suffered a hamstring tear.

Jermain Defoe and Younes Kaboul also have hamstring problems and will have fitness tests, while Ledley King could be rested.
MATCH PREVIEW

Both Norwich manager Paul Lambert and Tottenham counterpart Harry Redknapp must be full of festive cheer given how well their respective sides have performed so far this season.
Norwich have been this season's Blackpool, entertaining neutrals on their return to the top flight with some thrilling, goal-laden matches. Lambert can have few complaints with the way his team have adapted to the Premier League, but one thing on his Christmas wish list would be a first clean sheet of the season.

At this stage last season Blackpool sat eighth and had 25 points, four more than Norwich do, but their chronic inability to keep the goals out led to their demise. Lambert will need to add some solidity if he wants to avoid a similar fate befalling his side.
Tottenham are the highest-ranked London team at Christmas for the first time since 1995, although the mood at White Hart Lane has been dampened slightly by a mounting injury crisis that will give the depth of their squad its first real test this season.

A draw with Chelsea wasn't an ideal result, but after suffering defeats in their opening two games of the season Redknapp must be thrilled that his side are being talked of as title contenders.

Asking them if they're gooners before letting anyone in the house works best for me...
