Tottenham Hotspur v West Bromwich Albion: match preview

Tottenham Hotspur v West Bromwich Albion
Tottenham Hotspur v West Bromwich Albion: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Mauricio Pochettino has Tottenham flying. They have six straight wins in all competitions and are playing the sort of football that took them close to the title last season. But West Brom are something of a bogey team and it was Tottenham’s failure to beat them at the end of last season that effectively derailed their title challenge. Pochettino knows that Albion will make life extremely difficult. David Hytner
