Tottenham Hotspur prepare to take on West Bromwich Albion this afternoon looking to continue their impressive run of form, which recently saw them end Chelsea’s long standing winning streak.

The result over the Blues delighted the Spurs contingent here in the Transfer Tavern and they spent the night boozing away until the early hours after such a magnificent result.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men don’t seem to have too much of an issue getting up for the so-called bigger games in the league, but they will be keen to ensure that they don’t drop any silly points this afternoon against a rejuvenated Baggies outfit.

One Spurs fan is having a few early morning pints to settle the nerves and he says that he hopes the manager picks the right team, after giving some of his youngsters the chance to showcase their skills against Aston Villa in the cup last weekend.

Lee Clarke looks at two players who the Spurs boss must start against Tony Pulis’ side this weekend.

Harry Kane

It might be a tempting concept for the Spurs boss to leave his talisman on the bench this weekend, following the birth of his first child, although the Tottenham manager must think very carefully.

Kane is one of the most feared marksmen in the division and Spurs need all of their star players on the pitch together if they are to continue to close the gap on Chelsea.

One Spurs fan here in the Tavern is excited for the return of Kane and even predicts him to score a hat-trick this afternoon!

Dele Alli

The former MK Dons man was among the substitutes in the FA Cup last weekend but was introduced late in the second half to add fresh impetus.

Alli is part of everything that is currently good at Spurs and he must be given the chance to play this weekend.

One Spurs fan is catching up with the football news by flicking through the newspaper with a cup of coffee and he thinks that Alli could be vital this weekend, stating that he believes West Brom to be weakest in midfield.
