Tottenham Hotspur are on a brilliant run of form in the Premier League. Antonio Conte’s team are unbeaten in their last five games with each of their last two matches ending as wins.
On Sunday, Spurs will finish the campaign against Norwich City at Carrow Road. Dean Smith’s team will be thankful that the season is finally over as the Canaries prepare for life back in the Championship in 2022-23.

Norwich City failed to win any of their last six league games. Five of those matches ended as losses, but the Canaries are coming off of a surprise 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The Canaries took one point from the last 18 points available to them. They were outscored 16-3 in the last six matches.
Tottenham took 11 points from the last 18 points on offer. They conceded just three times, but worryingly for Conte, they scored just eight goals in six games.
Spurs have been strong on the road posting a record of 8W-4D-6L with a goal difference of +5. They are unbeaten in four straight road matches.
Tottenham are two points clear of a suddenly slumping Arsenal. Conte needs the London team to win on Sunday to ensure Champions League qualification for next term. A draw would be enough to clinch fourth place as Spurs’ goal difference is superior to Arsenal’s.
Norwich have the Premier League’s second-worst home points total. The Canaries have picked up 12 points from 18 games. They have a home record of 3W-3D-12L with a goal difference of –26.
No team in the league has given up more goals than Norwich City’s 79 goals conceded. Spurs have scored the league’s fourth-most goals with 64. Meanwhile, Spurs have conceded the fourth-fewest goals with 40.
Spurs head-to-head record versus Norwich City in their last six meetings is 4W-1D-1L in all competitions. Norwich City were outscored in those six games by a combined 14-4 count.
Conte has no major injuries and will be able to select from his best players for the match. Son Heung-min is chasing the Premier League Golden Boot award and the South Korean could overtake Mohamed Salah on Sunday in the race for the honour.
Son has scored 21 of Spurs’ 64 goals for 33% of the team’s scoring. Meanwhile, teammate Harry Kane has bagged 16 goals for the Tottenham cause.
Spurs should have no issue winning at Norwich City to clinch Champions League football for next season. The Londoners should pick up a 3-0 win on the final day of the season.
