Ndombele and Sessegnon start, no Eriksen - The team Spurs fans want to see start vs Norwich

It is a quick turnaround for Jose Mourinho and Spurs as they are back in Premier League action today (Saturday).

Just over 48 hours after the win over Brighton, Tottenham travel to the East coast to take on newly promoted Norwich City at Carrow Road.

A 2-1 win over the Seagulls moved Spurs to within three points of fourth-placed Chelsea. Goals from Harry Kane and Dele Alli cancelled out Adam Webster's opener to ensure that Mourinho's men bounced back from defeat against the Blues.

Tottenham's opponents will be looking to move off the bottom of the table after falling to Boxing Day defeat to fellow promoted side Aston Villa.

Jose Mourinho: Harry Kane is fantastic

Mourinho will be forced into at least two changes to the side that won against Brighton with both Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko serving a one-match suspension.

Spurs fans have been having their say on the team that they would like to see start this afternoon.

In place of the suspended Winks and Sissoko, fans have opted for Tanguy Ndombele and Eric Dier joining Dele Alli in the middle of the park.

Fans have also opted to return to a back four, with Toby Alderweireld and Davinson Sanchez making up the middle of the defence, Serge Aurier at right-back and Jan Vertonghen at left-back.

Ryan Sessegnon has been selected in the wide left area, with Lucas Moura on the right. Both will be tasked with providing service for talisman Harry Kane in a lone striker role.

Spurs fans' starting XI : Gazzaniga; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Vertonghen; Ndombele, Dele, Dier; Moura, Sessegnon; Kane
