Tremendous show of dominance in this game. Tottenham are the hottest team in the league right now. They'll be hoping against hope that Vertonghen isn't out for long though, as his partnership with Alderweireld has truly set their defense apart.
Coud be 4 or 5-0 by now. I know it's West Brom but I've rarely seen them this dominated! Eriksen is on fire, 3-4-2-1 clearly suits him. Of course, he would thrive in almost any system but this seems to allow him some extra freedom.
Tottenham need to score early and score at least 2 cause if they score just 1 it could go down the draw road all over again. alli is the key man to change the tide of the game Nuff said
West Brom are a good side. Away from home they've conceeded just 10 goals (which is only bettered by Tottenham and Chelsea). Both Chelsea and Arsenal needed late goals to overcome them in their own backyard. Offensively, the baggies are less prolific (9 goals) but still have some dangerous players, e.g. Matt Phillis particularly from set pieces, Chadli knows how to finish, and Hal-Robson-Kanu scored (against Belgium) one of the best goals of 2016. Moreover, Tottenham tend to draw with West Brom even when they really need a win (2012, 2016). That said... Spurs will be eager to build on their recent form, will dominate possession, and have the players to make it count. Man of the match? Deli is on fire right now but for home game with high posession maybe Eriksen is your man. SAM says 1-0, Lawro says 2-0, Who scored says 1-0, and I would be more than happy with 1-0.
Spurs starting to consistently play well and are looking indomitable at home (2 goals scored and 0.5 conceded per game on average). It'll be interesting to see if Pochettino sticks with the 3-4-3 formation. It helps their full backs out defensively and with Eriksen & Alli in the front 3, they can still carry out their pressing tactics. I personally don't think it will matter what formation Poch deploys, although I hope Pulis uses his famous 7-2-1. :-p . I predict a Spurs win to nil, I'll go with 2-0 because Pulis teams tend not to be hammered when they know they have to defend well and in number.
These are the kind of games that will determine if Spurs are the real deal in top four spot.Westbrom is a proven tough side under the stewardship of Pulis and particularly against Spurs.However Spurs must carry on the momentum with another three points.
I go for a narrow home victory and Westbrom to take the lead first.Tottenham 2-1 Westbrom!

4.0 tottns
west brom can win. 1-1 or 1-2
@ProGuess Possible, if played without goalkeeper and hard rock defensive wall.
@ProGuess Yes shure, if Tottenham only shows up with 6 men...
1-0 or 2-0
draw

Possible X-1. HT draw, FT Tott wins.
It is narrow home win or draw. Two good coaches will meet here and should be very close. I think 2-1 or 1-1. tough call
@koziol.mutant It wasn't a narrow home win or a draw, it was a comfortable home win by 4-0.

Kane to dominate goals, the baggies fight back hard to get back the game, 4-1 home win to Spur.
2-1 Spurs. Alli to continue his goal scoring streak.
