Tottenham confirmed starting XI vs West Brom: Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale start

Jose Mourinho has made a handful of changes to his Tottenham team for this afternoon's Premier League clash against West Brom.

Doing likewise on Thursday evening for the Europa League victory over Ludogorets, the Spurs head coach was always going to make alterations to keep his side fresh for the game at The Hawthorns.

For the first time, Mourinho has chosen to start Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale together as an attacking force.

Serge Aurier is back fit and among the substitutes but Davinson Sanchez misses out entirely with Joe Rodon on the bench.

Toby Alderweireld and Eric Dier start their third game in a week together in the centre of defence, while Sergio Reguilon is back at left-back, having recovered from the flu.

Tottenham go into today's game with the chance of moving to the top of the Premier League table.

Victory against Slaven Bilic's men will see them leapfrog surprise league leaders Southampton, although their potential stay at the summit of the league could only be temporary with Leicester City and Liverpool in action later in the day.

Spurs have been excellent on the road in the Premier League so far this term and have chalked up three wins from three against Southampton, Manchester United and Burnley.

They will be confident of keeping that run going against the Baggies as they currently sit in 18th after seven games.

Bilic's team have yet to win since their return to the top flight but victory today would see them climb above Fulham and out of the bottom three.

Here is the team Mourinho has selected for the game at The Hawthorns:

Spurs XI vs West Brom: Lloris; Doherty, Alderweireld, Dier, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele; Bale, Son, Kane.

Substitutes: Hart, Rodon, Aurier, Davies, Lo Celso, Lucas, Vinicius.
