Spurs need a win when they take on the Canaries at White Hart Lane on Easter Monday and Adam Bate is expecting them to do so in style.Tottenham continue their push to secure Champions League football next season when they host Norwich at White Hart Lane on Easter Monday.Spurs have had their wobbles on their travels since Christmas but their home form has held up well. Only Manchester United have beaten Harry Redknapp’s men on their own patch in 2012 with the Londoners winning eight of their other 10 home games.Spurs are strong favourites to win this one at 1/3 (1.33) with Sportingbet.Norwich have enjoyed a hugely impressive first season in the top flight under Paul Lambert. The Canaries perhaps have not earned the plaudits of fellow newcomers Swansea but the table does not lie and Lambert’s men could yet finish in the top half of the Premier League this season.Their away form has been a significant factor in their success – winning three times on the road since the turn of the year.A win over Spurs would be their biggest scalp yet and you can back Norwich to get the points at 13/2 (7.5) with Sportingbet. The draw is available at 18/5 (4.6).Either result will be a tough ask given that Norwich have yet to keep a clean sheet away from home in the Premier League this season.With Spurs showing signs of rediscovering their fluency, goals can be expected in this one and that is reflected in the short odds for over 2.5 goals – available at 9/20 (1.45).A better bet might be to back Spurs to lead at half-time and go on to win the game.That is available at 7/10 (1.7) with Sportingbet and is a good price given the home side’s superiority and considering the fact that Redknapp’s men have led at the interval in all but two of their 11 Premier League wins at White Hart Lane this season.
