Baggies boss Tony Pulis is a satisfied man, following a decent first half of the season which has seen them gain 29 points, as they climb to eighth place in the Premier League table.

Our landlord has particularly enjoyed the performances of Matt Phillips.

The signing was met by much skepticism by the Transfer Tavern’s resident Baggies fans, however the former QPR man has been in scintillating which they will hoping to see more off at White Hart Lane this weekend.

West Brom will particularly need to be aware of the in form, Dele Alli this time around as it was his 89th minute goal which stole a point at the Hawthorns in October, following Nacer Chadli’s goal against his former club.

There is no doubt that having set the standard for the season, Tony Pulis will be expecting a competitive performance from his men and they will need it here if they are too beat a Spurs’ full of confidence following progression in the FA Cup alongside a win against table toppers, Chelsea.

Saying that, this XI has more than enough talent to upset Spurs…

GK: Ben Foster

Foster’s most famous appearance at the Lane was when Paul Robinson scored from his own half against him.

His recent form would suggest that we won’t see a repeat of that come the weekend.

RB: Craig Dawson

Ever reliable for West Brom this season, the former Great British Olympian will keep his place for this one.

CB: Gareth McAuley

At 37 years of age, McAuley is the oldest outfield player in the Premier League this season.

CB: Jonny Evans

Evans is expected to recover from the calf strain picked up against Hull to play Spurs this weekend.

LB: Allan Nyom

Nyom should be available following his non-selection for the African Cup of Nations, having previously told the Cameroon FA that he did not want to take part in the tournament.

CM: Darren Fletcher

The first name on the West Brom team sheet.

The skipper has been ever present for the Baggies so far this season.

CM: Claudio Yacob

Our resident Baggies fans see Yacob has an unsung hero, as his ability to break up play as been instrumental for West Brom this season.

RM: Matt Phillips

The star man of West Brom’s season so far, Phillips has been sensational this first half of the season.

CAM: James Morrison

A goal in the last league game vs Hull may just get Morrison the nod over former Spurs man, Nacer Chadli.

Expect Morrison to interlink with Phillips and even swap positions for periods.

LM: Chris Brunt

The 32- year-old Northern Irishman returned from an 8 month lay-off last time out against Spurs, and has been vital in West Brom’s performances ever since.

ST: Solomon Rondon

The Venezuelan has been in top form for the Baggies this season, leading the scoring chart with 7 goals and will have to provide to help West Brom overcome this Spurs side.
