As one of the Tottenham faithful who watched Spurs in freezing temperatures capitulate to West Brom 2:0 in the reverse fixture just after Christmas, I am hopeful that as well as the weather looking much more favourable, Spurs’ impressive run of form at home will continue this weekend (and that conceding 5 goals in the second half against Man U last weekend will be just a distant memory).
West Brom have not managed to score, let alone win, in London this season, but will be optimistic that they can bring their form in the North East to the capital after defeating Sunderland 3:0 last weekend. West Brom, lying in last place in the Premiership, of course have everything to play for this weekend, particularly as the 2 teams above them are playing top 4 opposition and are unlikely to collect full points. However despite the importance of the match and the spirit of the squad and fans, their chances of victory at White Hart Lane are reduced by the fact that Tony Mowbray is without two of his key performers - James Morrison and Abdoulaye Meite are both injured.
Spurs’ leading scorer Darren Bent is also out, but with Keane, Pavlyuchenko and Defoe all fit and available, Redknapp will be able to field a strong attack. Fingers crossed this will be enough to beat West Brom and earn Spurs a sixth successive home victory.
