Predicted Tottenham Lineup vs West Brom
After a frustrating draw at home last weekend, Spurs make the trip to the Hawthorns this weekend. A rare Saturday kick-off for Tottenham, they will look to make it a memorable one.
Captain Hugo Lloris will continue in between the sticks. The Frenchman wasn’t called upon in the Chelsea fixture often but pulled off a brilliant save in the dying stages to keep the scoreline 0:0
Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Rose will continue their remarkable partnership. The defenders have made a reputation this season for being one of the meanest and tightest ones in the Premier League. Alderweireld has given 3 consecutive man of the match performances and will look to continue the good run of form and his great start to the Spurs part of his career.
In midfield, Ryan Mason will make way for 19-year-old sensation, Delle Alli who returns from suspension. The player was given praise from former Liverpool captain who was also quite public about the player not signing for Liverpool. But as of now, Dele Alli would have no regrets of making the switch to North London over Merseyside. Dele Alli will feature alongside Spurs’s everpresent CM player – Eric Dier who missed only 1 game through suspension. Dier started off as a CB but has made quite a name for himself this season playing in the CDM role, shielding the back 4.
Dembele, who has looked a whole new player this year will continue the resurgence and probably also want to get back on the score sheet! All he needs is 1 more goal to have his highest scoring year in a Spurs shirt. Eriksen wasn’t all that great v Chelsea but the Danish international will want to return back to his usual self and West Brom game is ideal. Korean, Son will start on the other flank, but the front 3 are bound to rotate roles as and when required.
No doubts as to who will lead the pack. Harry Kane went goalless last week, but will look to score on Saturday! There is talk about buying a back-up in January and it is good that Spurs are looking for one. Kane will still be the main striker and there doesn’t seem to be any likely changes to that statement in the near future.
