Tottenham Hotspur v Norwich City

TEAM NEWS

Tottenham midfielder Ryan Mason is available to face Norwich after a four-week absence with an ankle injury.

Danny Rose has overcome the illness that ruled him out last week but Clinton N'Jie will be sidelined for up to three months following knee surgery.

Norwich defender Andre Wisdom remains a doubt because of the hamstring strain that caused him to miss the win at Manchester United.

Matt Jarvis is not yet ready to return from a knee injury.

MOTD COMMENTATOR'S NOTES

Jonathan Pearce: "There has traditionally been a blockbuster Boxing Day mystery on the TV schedules. This could be a riddle too. Which Tottenham will turn up?

"The side so fluent in victory at Southampton and so capable of finishing in the top three? Or the team that threw away home pointsagainst Newcastle?

"This starts a slippery run of festive fixtures. They must win this. But will they be over reliant again on Harry Kane?

"Norwich have shown in the win at Manchester United and the draws against Everton and Arsenal that they will be defiant and durable. If they handle Kane, they can draw this."

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAY

Tottenham head coach Mauricio Pochettino: "Can we win the title? In football, all is possible.

"The last 10 games are very important and it's how you arrive there to attack different objectives or achieve important things.

"It's important how we arrive in the last 10 games."

Norwich manager Alex Neil: "I think it's important we seemed to have turned the corner a bit.

"I think performances have always been stable but it's about winning points.

"We have shown more than enough now against the bigger teams to show others we can win in this league."

LAWRO'S PREDICTION

I thought Spurs' trip to Southampton last Saturday would show how mentally tough they are. They proved it and I think they are ready for the top four.

Norwich didn't get questioned by United until the last 20 minutes in their win at Old Trafford - Spurs will ask questions for 90 minutes.
