Tottenham Hotspur will begin their League Cup tie at Norwich City this evening without a centre-forward.

Instead, attacking midfielder Clint Dempsey is likely to be given the role of leading the line for Andre Villas-Boas's side.

Hosting Norwich have made several changes to their lineup for the visit of Spurs, including the introduction of Steve Morison, Steven Whittaker and Robert Snodgrass.

Norwich: Bunn; Whittaker, Turner, R Bennett, Tierney; Butterfield, Howson, Surman, Fox, Snodgrass; Morison

Tottenham: Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Caulker, Naughton, Livermore, Carroll, Falque, Sigurdsson, Bale, Dempsey
