Alli was an unused substitute in Saturdays 4-1 FA Cup fourth-round win at Colchester and should join Alderweireld and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris in returning to the fold.Paul Mersons predictionI dont see anything other than a Tottenham win - they are absolutely flying at the moment. If you take a look at Norwich and their result the other week against a Liverpool side, who are not finding it easy to score goals, and they let in five against them. Ive watched them a lot this season and they create a lot of chances but just cannot put the ball in the net. Thats why the result against Liverpool was a real hammer blow for them. The one day they score four they let in five.Then you dont have a game for a while and thats even worse because you have a long time to stew over it. I just think Tottenham, who will miss Vertonghen, are on fire. They have too much firepower and Im backing Spurs to win 3-1 with Harry Kane to grab the first goal.PAUL PREDICTS: 1-3 (Sky Bet, 14/1) Midfielder Dele Alli, who scored a superb goal against Crystal Palace last time out, is in line to return for Spurs at Carrow Road Opta statsNorwich have scored just five goals in their last 11 Premier League games against Spurs.Tottenham have won eight and lost just three of their 15 Premier League games against Norwich (D4).Kanes first-ever Premier League game was for Spurs in August 2012, while his second was for Norwich on loan in September of the same year.

SEATTLE -- Mired in a slump for the past month, the Seattle Mariners optioned first baseman Dae-Ho Lee to Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.Seattle recalled Stefan Romero from Tacoma to take Lees spot on the roster and the Mariners put him in the starting lineup for Friday nights series opener with Milwaukee. Seattle also activated reliever Steve Cishek from the 15-day disabled list and optioned right-hander Joe Wieland to Tacoma.The move with Lee was not a surprise as the slugger has been unable to shake his recent slide thats seen the South Korean star hit .109 with one home run and four RBI in his last 20 games.Its been a pretty significant slide since the All-Star break and trying to get his timing going, Seattle manager Scott Servais said. Confidence-wise hes down. Ive met with him a couple of times. (Hitting coach) Edgar (Martinez) has tried to get some things going, the timing with his swing, just hasnt happened.Lee was a revelation the first half of the season, earning his way into a regular platoon situation at first base as Seattles primary option when facing left-handed pitching. But he injured his hand around the All-Star break aand said for a few weeks he was unable to keep up his regular hitting routine outside of games.dddddddddddd Servais noted that Lee has been struggling with timing and hoped the decision to send him down will allow Lee the opportunity to rediscover his swing but without the pressure of Seattle being in a playoff race.Lee said his hand is healthy now.It was on and off missing some pitches and a little bit I lost a little confidence of my batting, Lee said through an interpreter.For the season, Lee is batting .246 with 13 home runs and 41 RBI. He has just six hits since the All-Star break and is hitless in his past 14 at-bats.Cishek went on the disabled list on Aug. 4 with a labrum tear in his left hip. The injury did not require surgery and Cishek gives Seattle another right-handed option in the bullpen, but he wont go back to the closer role he had earlier in the year. Cishek was 25 of 31 in save opportunities, but took a blown save and a loss in his last two appearances before landing on the disabled list. ' ' '
