Yep that's the team i would play (obviously 4-4-1-1 as we've never played 4-2-3-1)....Norwich will win this though 3-1.
Unless we sign someone like Messi or Falcao I do not see them starting this game.

Norwich City host Tottenham Hotspur at Carrow Road on Wednesday 30th January 2013 (KO 19:45) in the 24th round of the 2012-13 Premier League.
Norwich come into the match in 13th place in the table on 26 points with Spurs in 4th place on 41 points.
This will be the 80th time the two teams have met.
Norwich City were founded in 1902 by three former Norwich Church of England Young Men's Society players. The club lost their amateur status in 1905 and joined the Southern League shortly afterwards.
The first meeting between Spurs and Norwich came in April 1906 in the Southern League and the East Anglian club won 4-1 at White Hart Lane. The reverse fixture at Newmarket Road was won by Spurs 3-0. Vivian Woodward scored three goals for Spurs against Norwich that season.
The clubs met for two further seasons in the Southern League, resulting in two wins for Norwich, a win for Spurs and a drawn match.
Spurs joined the Football League for season 1908-09 and the next meeting with Norwich came in the old second round (today's fourth round) of the FA Cup in January 1915 at "The Nest" in Rosary Road, resulting in a 3-2 win for the Canaries.
Four friendlies were played between 1916 and 1925 with Spurs winning two games, Norwich one and one drawn game.
The first Football League meeting between the two clubs came in the Second Division in December 1935 with Spurs winning 2-1 at the Lane, while Norwich won the reverse fixture 1-0 in April 1936 at their new home in Carrow Road.
The clubs met for a further three seasons in Division Two resulting in four wins for Spurs and two for Norwich.
During World War Two, Spurs & Norwich played two matches in the Football League South.
An FA Cup fifth round match in February 1959 ended in a 1-1 draw at White Hart Lane and Norwich pulled-off a 'giant killing' act by beating Spurs 1-0 in the replay at Carrow Road.
The first meeting in the Top Flight of English Football came in October 1972 when a Martin Chivers goal at Carrow Road wasn't enough to prevent a 2-1 win for Norwich.
The clubs contested the 1973 Football League Cup Final at Wembley and a Ralph Coates goal was enough to bring the silverware to White Hart Lane.
Martin Chivers scored a brace in Tottenham's 3-1 win against Norwich in the reverse First Division fixture at the Lane a week later.
The clubs met regularly in Division One from season 1973-74 to 1991-92 with honours being generally even.
Both Spurs and Norwich were founder members of the Premier League in 1992-93, but the Canaries lost their top flight status after the 1994-95 season and returned for one season in 2004-05. Spurs won 6 of the 10 Premier League matches played with Norwich winning twice and two drawn games.
The clubs met in a pre-season friendly at Carrow Road in July 2008 with Darren Bent scoring four goals in a 5-1 Spurs win.
The fixture at Carrow Road last season in December resulted in a rather comfortable 2-0 away win for Spurs, thanks to a brace of goals scored by Gareth Bale in the 55th and 67th minutes.
Things were rather different for the reverse fixture at White Hart Lane in April 2012 with Spurs losing 1-2 to Norwich. Jermain Defoe scored for Spurs with Anthony Pilkington and Elliott Bennett netting for the Canaries in a match which would prove vital for Tottenham's Champions League qualification chances.
During the Summer, former Spurs player and assistant manager Chris Hughton was appointed Norwich manager, Cameroon defender Sebastien Bassong moved from Spurs to Norwich for a £3,750,000 transfer fee and Spurs striker Harry Kane joined Norwich on a season's loan.
The Premier League match at White Hart Lane in September resulted in a 1-1 draw with Mousa Dembele putting Spurs ahead after 68 minutes only for Robert Snodgrass to score a late equaliser with just five minutes remaining.
The clubs met in the 4th Round of the Football League (Capital One) Cup at Carrow Road at the end of October and Gareth Bale put Spurs ahead in the 66th minute. An own goal from Jan Vertonghen, who deflected an Alex Tettey shot, levelled matters after 84 minutes and Norwich progressed to the 5th Round through a Simeon Jackson goal three minutes later.
Overall, Spurs have won 34, Norwich have won 24 and 21 of the 79 matches between the two clubs have been drawn.

have you thought we'd win a game at all in the past few months?

We haven't beaten them in 3 attempts, bout time we put that right.
If Defoe plays, I can see us winning. But no strikers = no points if he doesn't play.

BALE ON CANARIES:
Gareth Bale quickly turned his attention to Wednesday night's Premier League clash at Norwich and insisted: "Both teams will want to prove a point."
We were on the wrong end of a surprise in the FA Cup as Championship side Leeds United beat us 2-1 in the fourth round at Elland Road on Sunday.
However, the Canaries suffered the shock of the season so far as Luton Town became the first non-league to beat a top-flight team since Sutton toppled Coventry in 1989 with a 1-0 win at Carrow Road on Saturday.
We take a run of one defeat in 11 in the Premier League to Norfolk to face a team no doubt determined to halt a run of five league losses in the last six.
"Norwich also had a disappointing result in the FA Cup and we’re both in a situation we didn’t want to be in," said Gareth. "I’m sure both teams will want to bounce back and we’ll be looking to get the three points.
"Hopefully we’ll go there and repeat what we did last season."
Gareth was outstanding in our 2-0 win at Norwich last season, scoring both goals, and he provided flashes of inspiration at Elland Road but it wasn't enough as goals from Luke Varney and Ross McCormack saw Leeds home.
Clint Dempsey reduced arrears to 2-1 after 58 minutes but Leeds defended well, continued to hound us in possession and we had to wait until the last minute for another clear-cut chance when Lee Peltier's last-ditch tackle denied Jon Obika.
"Leeds made it difficult for us," added Gareth. "On another day we could have scored a few goals but it wasn’t meant to be.
"Their second goal came at a horrible time for us. It was the killer blow, to be honest.
"We had some chances to draw but we’ll take it on the chin and look forward to the next game against Norwich, where we’ll look to leave the Leeds defeat behind."

Starting line-up: Who cares.
Bench: Lewis Holtby, and 6 others.

He has to start surely? He's supposed to save our season or something.

He'll be able to save our season from the bench in 25 minutes in the second half, no worries and no need to start him.

Holtby on the bench please.
Holtby for Bale. Seriously I do hope Holtby is available for this one. What we know from AVB is that there is no way he will just throw him in there. He will make him wait.
I do hope Sig doesn't get his head down if Holtby moves ahead in the pecking order. Still have high hopes for Sig.

The ITK is no JD. That doesn't mean we have no strikers because Clint is a striker, and on recent form better than JD or ADe.
Of course now we know JD had a reason for his dip in form, I still haven't heard Ade's
I haven't given up on Obika yet, but boy do we need to buy a striker by tomorrow, or sooner
