Tony Pulis has become the latest manager to lose his job following a string of poor defeats for West Brom and next up for the Baggies is a tricky looking trip to Wembley to face Tottenham. Spurs will be reeling from their North London Derby defeat to Arsenal and will be desperate to bounce back quickly in their pursuit of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.

Tottenham
West Bromwich AlbionTottenham
Spurs came crashing back down to earth with a 2-0 loss at Arsenal last time out – with controversial refereeing decisions proving costly for Mauricio Pochettino’s men. Now 11 points behind Manchester City, Spurs sit in 4th place, one point above 5th place Liverpool – having scored 20 goals in their opening 12 games. Harry Kane struggled at the Emirates but has notched 13 goals in all competitions this term and looks full of confidence.
West Bromwich Albion
Tony Pulis paid the ultimate price on Monday, with his 3 year tenure in charge of the Baggies coming to an end following a 4-0 thumping at the hands of Chelsea. The Baggies are in 17th place, without a win in nearly 3 months and reside only one point and one place outside of the relegation zone. Jay Rodriguez hasn’t banged the goals in since his summer move and he’ll be desperate to improve on his modest total of 3 goals this season.
Head to Head
Tottenham hold the upper hand in the head to head records between the two sides – with 56 wins compared to West Brom’s 52 with another 35 games ending in draws between the two teams. The Baggies restricted Spurs to a 1-1 draw almost a year ago at the Hawthorns but Spurs picked up a resounding 4-0 win in their last meeting with Harry Kane bagging a hat-trick on his way to winning the Premier League golden boot.
