Tottenham will move to the top of the Premier League with a win over West Brom today.
After hardfought victories over Burnley and Brighton, Spurs will leapfrog both Leicester City and Liverpool, who each play later on Sunday, for at least a few hours with three points.
The Baggies are still looking for their first victory of the campaign, eeking out three points from their first seven games, and didn’t show much fight against Fulham on Monday.
Date, time and venue
West Brom vs Tottenham is scheduled for a 12pm kick-off today (Sunday, November 8, 2020).
The match is due to be played behind closed doors at The Hawthorns due to Government guidelines regarding coronavirus.
How to watch
West Brom vs Tottenham is available to watch on BT Sport Box Office, at a cost of £14.95.
Team news
West Brom boss Slaven Bilic has no new injury concerns.
Dara O'Shea is in contention to return to the backline after recovering from ankle trouble although given he has not featured for a month for the Baggies, the Republic of Ireland defender may not start.
Long-term absentees Sam Field (knee) and forward Hal Robson-Kanu (broken arm) will once again miss out.
Tottenham should have Sergio Reguilon back from illness after he missed the Europa League clash with Ludogorets.
Erik Lamela (Achilles) and Serge Aurier (knock) also missed out and only the latter will be in contention at The Hawthorns.
Boss Jose Mourinho made six changes in Bulgaria and he will be expected to revert to his first-choice team.
Predicted Tottenham XI (4-3-3): Lloris; Doherty, Dier, Alderweireld, Reguilon; Hojbjerg, Sissoko, Ndombele; Lucas, Kane, Son
Prediction: West Brom 0-2 Tottenham
The Baggies are still looking for their first win of the league season and were dire against fellow strugglers Fulham last time out.
Spurs are looking are more solid of late and the prospect of going top of the table should be enough of an impetus to earn the win.
