West Bromwich Albion v Tottenham Hotspur: match preview

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

Mauricio Pochettino has made no secret of wanting to buy another forward in January and will hope to check up on Saido Berahino, who threatened to go on strike after Spurs’ fourth bid for him was rejected last summer and has since managed three league goals. Albion have Chris Brunt available while a result for Spurs would equal the undefeated top-flight run of 14 from 1985. Mark Tallentire
