3905
The fifth round of the FA Cup takes place this week and rather than the games being played on the weekend they will all be played between Monday and Thursday night. There are 3 matches on Wednesday the 4th of March one of which takes place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs host Norwich City.
Tottenham Hotspur come into the game having lost 3-2 at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday afternoon in the Premier League. They twice took the lead in the match but could not hold on and conceded the winning goal in the 72nd minute. That result means Tottenham Hotspur have lost their last 3 games in all competitions.
Prior to the defeat on Sunday they lost 1-0 at home in the Champions League against RB Leipzig and 2-1 away to Chelsea in the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur have made heavy weather of the FA Cup so far this season. Despite having entered the competition at the 3rd round stage, they have already played 4 matches. They started with an away game at Middlesbrough and that ended 1-1 meaning a replay was required. Tottenham Hotspur won the replay 2-1 but were held to another draw in the 4th round, this time at Southampton.
Once again Tottenham Hotspur managed to win the replay at home, this time 3-2. They will have to get the job done at the first time of asking against Norwich City as there are no replays at this stage. Trends show Tottenham Hotspur have seen both teams score in each of their last 4 games in the FA Cup.
Norwich City played their most recent Premier League game on Friday night and secured a very important 1-0 win over Leicester City at home. That victory ended a run of 3 games without a win, all of which came in the Premier League. You must go back to the 4th round of the FA Cup on the 25th of January to find the last time Norwich City won a game prior to the victory over Leicester City.
The win came at Burnley and is the only away win in their last 5 away matches in all competitions. In fact, Norwich City have won only 2 of their last 8 away matches and both have come in the FA Cup. Norwich City have seen both teams score in each of their 2 FA Cup games this season and in 3 of their last 4 matches in the competition.
Looking ahead to the team news and Tottenham Hotspur will continue without the injured duo of Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko. Juan Foyth, Heung-Min Son, Hugo Lloris and Ryan Sessegnon are rated as being doubtful.
Norwich City are without Sam Byram who has a hamstring injury. They also have doubts over the fitness of Christoph Zimmermann, Onel Hernandez and Timm Klose.
Despite recent setbacks, Tottenham Hotspur remain the favourites to win this game. Forebet predicts a win for the Spurs as they keep a clean sheet.
