Antonio Conte will guide his Tottenham side into their final Premier League game of the season on Sunday, and arguably one of their most important ones under the Italian. Spurs have endured a rollercoaster of a campaign, which began under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Despite winning Manager of the Month in August, the Portuguese coach was dismissed just 52 days later. Serial winner Conte took charge and while it has taken time and some harsh words along the way, his side hit form at the right time and are in pole position to land a top-four position.
That was despite North London rivals Arsenal leading the way, but the Gunners suffering back-to-back losses means one point should be enough for the Lilywhites, barring a 16-goal swing. That task comes at Carrow Road, where already-relegated Norwich will be looking to deny the visitors.

With the season coming to a close, football pundits have given their predictions for the final time. Here’s a look at how they have the game going.
Mark Lawrenson - BBC
After over 20-years in football punditry with the BBC, Mark Lawrenson is set to retire at the end of this campaign. And, in good news for those of a Tottenham persuasion, he has the game going in Spurs’ favour.
“I know there is this perception that Tottenham can always slip up, but not this time,” Lawrenson said. “I am expecting Norwich to give them a game but Spurs have got Dejan Kulusevski now as well as Harry Kane and Son Heung-min and I don't see the Canaries holding out, let alone beating them.”
Score prediction: Norwich 0-2 Tottenham
Paul Merson - Sportskeeda
Former Arsenal player Paul Merson agrees with Lawrenson, claiming that Tottenham should get the game won. However, he has suggested that should they fail to beat the Canaries, then they don’t deserve a top-four position.
He told Sportskeeda : “I'll only say one thing - if Spurs can't beat Norwich City on the last day of the season with a place in the Premier League top four at stake, what's the point of them being in the UEFA Champions League in the first place?”
Score prediction: Norwich 1-2 Tottenham
Michael Owen - Betvictor
Former Manchester United and Liverpool striker Michael Owen is the third and final pundit to predict the scoreline, and he agrees with both Lawrenson and Merson. Speaking to Betvictor, he said: “What a turnaround this has been for Spurs. Top four is now in their hands, surely they won’t let this slip.
“Conte and these players deserve a lot of credit, they’ve shown a lot of improvement as this season has gone on. Even a draw would likely be enough for Spurs, but I can only see them winning.”
Score prediction: Norwich 0-2 Tottenham
