Tottenham Hotspur and Norwich City will battle for three points in an English Premier League fixture on Sunday.
The hosts secured maximum points in a routine 2-0 victory over Brentford on Thursday. Sergi Canos' first-half own goal and Heung-Min Son's second-half strike guided the Lilywhites to victory.
Norwich City shared the points in a 1-1 draw away to Newcastle United on Tuesday. Teemu Pukki's injury-time equalizer canceled out Callum Wilson's 61st minute strike.
Tottenham's victory saw them climb up to sixth spot in the table, having garnered 22 points from 13 matches. They are two points behind the top four with a game in hand. Norwich City still sit second from bottom on 10 points.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Norwich City Prediction
Antonio Conte's appointment has rejuvenated Tottenham and the capital side are now well in the running to secure a top four finish. They will, however, have to be at their best against a Norwich side full of confidence in recent weeks.
The Canaries need a win to boost their chances of retaining their top-flight status but are unlikely to go all out in attack due to the quality of their hosts' attack.
A win would see the home side climb into the top four and we are backing them to secure maximum points in a routine victory.
