Aiming to record a third Premier League home win on the trot, we welcome Norwich City to North London on Sunday afternoon. We saw off Brentford 2-0 in midweek, while Norwich could not get one over 10-man Newcastle United in a game that finished 1-1.
Swapping humiliating Europa Conference League nights and frozen Turf Moor pitches for a vibrant Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Conte oversaw yet another Premier League home victory as we dispatched Brentford 2-0 on Thursday night.
Sergi Canos's own goal in the 12th minute of the contest put us into the ascendancy before Son finished off a sweeping counter-attack for 2-0, with our first-choice XI showing the fringe players who were embarrassed in Slovenia how it is done. Having now taken seven points from a possible nine in the Premier League since taking over, Conte has suddenly propelled us right back into European contention as they lie 6th in the table - just one point below bitter rivals Arsenal with a game in hand.
We have also recorded three home wins on the bounce in all competitions since Conte took charge - scoring at least two goals on each occasion - which is no mean feat considering Kane's continuing struggles to find his shooting boots in the Premier League. With only two points separating us from fourth-placed West Ham United, things are starting to look up for us - domestically at least - but the same can arguably be said for Norwich and Dean Smith.
Despite boasting an extra man for 81 minutes after Ciaran Clarke saw red for Newcastle, Norwich were unable to make that advantage count as their basement battle with the Magpies ended in a 1-1 stalemate at St James' Park.
Now unbeaten in four Premier League games - including all three during Smith's reign so far - Norwich have at least climbed off the bottom of the table and occupy 19th spot, but they sit three points adrift of safety, and 18th-placed Burnley do have a game in hand.
Failure to beat the Premier League's basement side with an extra man for the majority of the game is alarming, though, and Norwich travel to our Stadium having conceded a league-high 17 goals in away games this season. Norwich did stun us on penalties in the capital during the fifth round of the 2019-20 FA Cup, but they have lost three of their last four Premier League games with us and most recently prevailed away from home in this fixture back in 2012.

Team News
Conte has conceded that Lo Celso will not be ready to return from injury this weekend, and Romero's hamstring problem will keep him out until 2022.
Dane Scarlet is also struggling with an ankle issue but was never going to come into contention for this game, with Conte poised to name an unchanged XI from the Brentford victory.
Kane has scored from the spot in his last three Premier League games with Norwich and could now become the first player in the history of the competition to register four times in a row from 12 yards against a single opponent.
As for Norwich, Milot Rashica is unlikely to be ready before 2022 due to a groin problem, but Todd is raring to go after a COVID-19 scare.
Midfielder Mathias Normann will not be fit for this game either, and the Norwegian joins Sam Byram, and Christoph Zimmermann in the visitors' treatment room.
Cantwell could now come into consideration for a start on the left over Christos Tzolis, but other than that it should be as you were for the Canaries.
