Norwich City have both four changes to their starting XI for this evening’s FA Cup fifth round tie at Tottenham, with the hosts making three changes.
Josip Drmic makes just his second start in a City shirt, having scored at Burnley in the last round on his other start, with Teemu Pukki on the bench due to injury.
Pukki is alongside Alex Tettey among the substitutes despite illness, with Kenny McLean and Ondrej Duda also dropping to the bench and Tom Trybull, Mario Vrancic and Lukas Rupp coming into midfield.
The Canaries progressed to the fifth round with a 4-2 win at Championship side Preston and a 2-1 win away to top-flight rivals Burnley.
