Tottenham v Norwich: Spurs look to bounce back from derby defeat
Latest Tottenham v Norwich odds as Spurs go into their clash with Norwich as 4/9 favourites as Villas Boas looks to recover from a loss to archrivals Arsenal.
Tottenham had a bright start to the season notching up a 100% record which was abruptly halted in their loss during the North London derby.
A lot has happened since then with Gareth Bale becoming a notable absentee from the first team squad after moving to Real Madrid for a record £86m.
With the media circus now out of the way and the international break over, Spurs will now be able to focus on solidifying their chances of sealing a Champions League spot later in the season.

Bale has left the squad, it will mean Andre Vilas-Boas will have some room to experiment with which creative players he’ll start with as Nacer Chadli, Andros Townsend and Danny Rose all search for a starting place.
There could also be room for Danish superstar Christian Eriksen to make his debut after sealing a last minute move from Ajax
But the team will be without Emmanuel Adebayor whose time at White Hart Lane could soon be over as the Togo international looks for a move out of London at the earliest possible opportunity.
Meanwhile, Norwich will start to look a get a bit of consistency as many of their new signings start to settle down to life in the Premier League.
The Canaries were busy strengthening numerous areas of the side over the summer and with new names such as Leroy Fer and Ricky Van Wolfswinkel having got a couple of games under their belt, they will be keen to start showing the form that brought them to Carrow Road.
This was something that Fer highlighted during an interview with the Eastern Daily Press where he warned that the new look side were starting to get comfortable in the league commenting: “We are starting to gel and that can only be good for the next few games.”
Norwich boss Chris Hughton will have a fresh squad to select from on Saturday meaning that many of the new signings are likely to make an appearance including promising youngster Nathan Redmond who scored one of the best goals in the Premier League during their win against Southampton last time out.
Although The Canaries are stronger now than what they were at the start of the season, Tottenham have also reinforced their squad and should have enough to pick up the win as they adjust to life without Gareth Bale.
