Premier League Injuries: Norwich hopes take Kane-ing

Grant Holt has failed to find the net so far this season
Harry Kane, Nemanja Vidic and Neil Taylor will all be missed this weekend...
Harry Kane - Norwich v Liverpool (Saturday, 15:00)
The last thing Norwich need in this desperately dehydrated period in front of goal is an injury to a possible source of goals. The Tottenham loanee could be sidelined for six weeks and, although only a teenager and yet to make a Premier League start, there were high hopes for the youngster who scored nine times for Millwall earlier this year. Norwich are experiencing real problems getting the ball in the net as a meagre return of two goals from five Premier League outings would suggest, with nothing to show for the last three. The Canaries' top scorer last season Grant Holt has not got off the mark either, only adding to the growing problem. Visitors Liverpool put three past Norwich last season and arrive buoyed by their Capital One Cup exploits.
Recommended Bet: Back Liverpool to beat Norwich @ 1.84/5
Neil Taylor - Stoke v Swansea (Saturday, 15:00)
Although this is not a fresh injury to report, it's becoming increasingly apparent just what a miss the Welsh international left back is for this Swansea side. In the opening two games of the season, in which Taylor played almost the entirety, the Swans were imperious, winning heavily to nil on both occasions. However, since the horrific ankle injury sustained early on against Sunderland, results have taken a dive. Michael Laudrup's side went on to draw that home meeting with Sunderland before recording successive defeats. More worryingly, after keeping two clean sheets with Taylor, without him the Welsh team have conceded seven in just three league clashes.

Nemanja Vidic - Manchester United v Tottenham (Saturday, 17:30, ESPN)
This week United fans learned the dreadful news that their Serbian skipper had been ruled out for eight weeks following knee surgery. Vidic's importance to the United cause was never more apparent than last season when the same troublesome knee kept him out for the last five months of the campaign with cruciate damage. The defender's absence caused a dramatic drop in win percentage from 80% to 61% and was arguably a key factor in their Premier League hopes evaporating under a sky blue haze. Sir Alex Ferguson will now have to rely on Jonny Evans while he waits for the returns of Chris Smalling and Phil Jones.
Recommended Bet: Back both teams to score @ 1.748/11
