Tottenham Hotspur play host to fellow Premier League side Norwich City in round five of the FA Cup on Wednesday night, says Reuters.

Spurs have lost three games in a row in all competitions, whereas Norwich picked up a morale-boosting victory over Leicester City last time out.

The Lilywhites are now seventh in the table, albeit just two points adrift of Manchester United in fifth place, which will likely be enough to seal Champions League football for 

next season.

Jose Mourinho now faces a huge challenge in attempting to stop the rot and getting his side's campaign back on track, with Wednesday's visit of Norwich now taking on added 

significance.

Spurs required replays to overcome Middlesbrough and Southampton in rounds three and four respectively, but as from this season all fifth-round fixtures must be settled on the day.

That is good news for Mourinho in many ways given he has complained about his side's fixture list in the wake of losing a number of key men to injury.

Harry Kane and Son Heung-min may yet play again before the end of the season, but for now Mourinho has to make do without arguably his two best players.
