Tottenham will be looking to extend their fine run of form when they visit West Bromwich Albion on Saturday. The Spurs are just four points behind current leaders Manchester City, so a victory could move them close to the top, while West Brom are currently 13th in the Premier League table. Last season the Baggies won 1-0 at White Hart Lane while Spurs clinched a 3-0 triumph in the reverse fixture. Tottenham have lost just one of the last eleven league meetings against West Brom.
Tony Pulis and his men are looking to move away from the relegation zone, as far as possible and as soon as possible. Last weekend they held West Ham to a 1-1 draw and before that they defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home. Those results moved them eight points clear of the danger zone, but they have to keep adding points to their tally. Chris Brun will be available again after a ban, while Saido Berahino will most likely be on the bench once gain.
Tottenham are now unbeaten in 13 league matches after a goalless draw against defending champions Chelsea last weekend. Mauricio Pochettino's men probably deserved to win against the Blues as they had the better chances of the match. They are just two points behind fourth-placed rivals Arsenal, but any slip-up could see them drift further away from the Champions League places. Dele Alli will be available again after suspension, the midfielder will most likely replace injured Ryan Mason. Nacer Chadli and Nabil Bentaleb are not yet fully fit.
Probable line-ups:
West Brom: Myhill - Dawson, Evans, McAuley, Olsson - Gardner, Fletcher, Morrison, McClean - Lambert, Rondon
Tottenham: Lloris - Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose - Dier, Alli, Son, Dembele, Eriksen - Kane
My prediction: Tottenham to win 1-0.
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
West Brom win - 4.75 Draw - 3.60 Tottenham win - 1.85

The visitors have a good season this year, they lost just once (in the opening round at Old Trafford) but have won 6 times. They are very successful away from home as well (2 wins, 3 draws and the mentioned loss). West Bromwich Albions are struggling this season especially at home (2 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses, 9:13 goal difference)....

West Bromwich Albions are struggling this season especially at home (2 wins, 1 draw, 4 losses, 9:13 goal difference). The Hotspurs have more quality in attack, Kane is on fire again so I'm sure they will score one or more goals. This match will be a tough one but I think Tottenham will be able to win today. My prediction is: Tottenham to win 2-1.

Tottenham is one of the teams in best shape at the moment in the Premier League and they have great chance this season to be in the top 4 places at the end so every win will be closing them to that target.

If Spurs shows the style from the last few games I don't think they will have a problems to clinch that one but as we all know they could be very inconsistent in their performance too, still I believe Spurs will win that one.
