This is how we predict Tottenham Hotspur and West Bromwich Albion will line up this weekend:

To be played on Saturday 14th January 2017 at 12:30. Venue: White Hart Lane, London

Odds: Tottenham 1/3, Draw 4/1, West Brom 8/1

Tottenham Hotspur welcome West Bromwich Albion to White Hart Lane this weekend for their latest Premier League clash.

Spurs are currently third in the table with 42 points from 20 matches, and their recent win against leaders Chelsea means there are just seven points separating the two London sides as things stand.

As for West Brom, they are eighth after enjoying a superb campaign to date, and they will be quietly confident of getting one over Mauricio Pochettino’s side with a little luck.

In early team news, Tottenham are without Erik Lamela as the Argentine winger continues his recovery from a hip injury, but other than that they have a clean bill of health.

After his impressive showing against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, the time is right for summer signing Georges-Kevin N’Koudou to get his first start in the league.

West Brom cannot call on Saido Berahnio due to a lack of match fitness while there are minor doubts regarding Chris Brunt, Jonny Evans and Allan Nyom but all three are rated at 75 per cent to be ready if called upon.

With all that in mind here is how we expect Tottenham and West Brom to line up on Saturday afternoon:
