Tottenham are still looking for a game this season. Last season’s modest results allowed Spurs to grab a spot in the Conference League, where they had a chance to advance to the playoffs. But in the last round the coronavirus intervened, depriving the team of the opportunity to play against Rennes, which left the capital outside the new tournament from UEFA. Spurs beat West Ham with a score 2:1 on their way to the League Cup semi-finals. They also successfully started in the FA Cup, where they left no chance for the humble Morkam (3:1). Not everything is going smoothly for Antonio Conte’s charges in the English Championship, where, after 18 stages the team has 10 victories and three peaceful outcomes, which brought 33 points and the sixth position in the standings. The performance indicators of the attack of the team, which differed only 23 times, look very modest. In the last two rounds the lilac-whites drew with Southampton (1:1) and defeated Watford (1:0) on January 1st. Today Bergwijn, Son Heung Min and Romero will not be able to enter the field. The Argentinean has a thigh injury.
Last season Norwich chalked up another title of champion of the second-strongest division in England, which made it possible to quickly issue a return ticket to the elite championship. The team is having a bad start to the new season. In the League Cup the Canaries started off powerfully. The victory over Bournemouth (6:0) brought hope for the best, but they failed to go beyond the 1/16 finals. At this stage Liverpool stood in the way of the yellow-greens. In the Premier League championship Dean Smith’s men started with six defeats in a row. After 19 rounds the guests chalked up two victories and four peaceful outcomes, which brought 10 points and 20th place in the standings. The line of attack of the team looks terrible, which differed only eight times with 42 conceded goals. In the last two rounds the underdog lost to Arsenal (0:5) and Crystal Palace (0:3). Norman, Omobamidele, Rowe, Rupp, Zimmermann, Gilmour and Cantwell, who has coronavirus, will not be able to play today.
