Predicted Tottenham Line-up To Face West Bromwich Albion In The Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur will host manager-less West Bromwich Albion on Saturday at the Wembley stadium. Spurs will come into this game after an embarrassing loss against their North London rivals Arsenal and a victory in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund. If they are to keep their hopes of a top 3 finish alive, Spurs will need to pick up 3 points at all costs.
After the setback against Arsenal, Spurs will need to prove a point and this encounter should provide them with a fairly easy chance of securing a victory.
Team News
Pochettino has no fresh injury concerns except Toby Alderweireld and Victor Wanyama, who continue to be sidelined.
Possible Tottenham Hotspur XI To Face West Bromwich Albion
Formation: 3-4-3
Manager: Mauricio Pochettino
Hugo Lloris (GK)
Lloris was unusually shaky against Dortmund but he is expected to come back to his usual self against West Brom and will look to be more solid in goal.
Jan Vertonghen (CB)
Vertonghen has been consistent enough for Tottenham which should see him start on Saturday. He was not at his best in their last match but he can do a lot better.
Davinson Sanchez (CB)
Sanchez has proven to be quite dominant at the back and is adept at keeping even the sneakiest opponents out, hence making it likely for Pochettino to deploy him.
Eric Dier (CB)
With Alderweireld out, Dier should continue at the back. He was one of Tottenham’s best against Dortmund and will look to continue his good work on Saturday as well.
Ben Davies (LWB)
Danny Rose played in the match against Dortmund which could see Davies return to the starting lineup since the amount of stability he brings to the team remains unmatched.
Kieran Trippier (RWB)
Serge Aurier was given a start against Dortmund ahead of Trippier in the interest of squad rotation and although he provided support to the attack, he left Spurs weak at the back. Hence, Trippier is likely to take up his usual role.
Harry Winks (CM)
Winks was outstanding against Dortmund. His passes were crucial in keeping the pace of the game and Pochettino is expected to bring him into the starting lineup on Saturday.
Mousa Sissoko (CM)
Sissoko has displayed some positive performances of late and will hope to start against the Baggies, especially after Christian Eriksen’s flop show against Dortmund.
Christian Eriksen (LW)
The winger will be keen on returning to his own position against the Baggies and Pochettino is likely to name him in the line-up, on the right wing.
Dele Alli (RW)
Alli was at his creative best against Dortmund. He is on an upward trajectory of form right now and will look to maintain the momentum if he starts on Saturday.
Harry Kane (CF)
After an unusually quiet match against Arsenal, Kane did score a goal against Dortmund but he needs to show the Premier League that he is still at his best. There’s no reason for Pochettino to not deploy him and Kane will be eager to get his name on the score sheet.
