Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to back up their impressive win over Manchester City with a win at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino highlighted the need for his side to adapt to the different challenges that are presented to them throughout the course of the season, as quoted by the Hertfordshire Mercury.
Tottenham have been in scintillating form so far this season, and currently sit in second position in the Premier League table – just one point adrift of league leaders Manchester City.
They are the only remaining unbeaten side in England’s top flight, and their 2-0 win over City just before the international break was indicative of their tenacious, high-tempo displays thus far.
Pochettino spoke to reporters before his side’s trip to the Hawthorns to take on West Brom on Saturday, and highlighted the need for his players to be 100 per cent focused, as quoted by the Hertfordshire Mercury:

“We have to be realistic and know we only got three points from Manchester city. It’s true that it was a good game, we played well and it was exciting the game. But now we must be clever and we need to understand that West Brom will be a tough game. Maybe it will be more difficult than Manchester City if we’re not focused. If we want at the end of the season to fight for big things, and to achieve big or lift trophies, we need to adapt our game against teams that play in different ways.”

What makes Tottenham such a strong outfit this season, is the mixture of players which they possess in their squad.
They seem to have the perfect combination of flair and grit, and this weekend’s trip to the Hawthorns will be sure to test their physical ability.
Three points could see Spurs move to the top off the league, should City fail to beat Everton.
