Dele Dropped Again: Spurs XI vs West Brom

TIGHT Tottenham have conceded just six goals in their last eight Premier League meetings with West Brom, and never more than once in a match in that run.

HEAD Gareth Bale netted Tottenham’s winner last time out against Brighton, while he also scored the winning goal the last time he faced West Brom in the Premier League (1-0 at the Hawthorns in February 2013).

MACHINE Tottenham striker Harry Kane has scored seven goals in his seven Premier League appearances against West Brom, one of nine sides he averages a goal-per-game or better against in the competition.

DANGER? West Brom won their last Premier League encounter with Spurs, 1-0 back in May 2018. They’ve not won back-to-back league games against Tottenham since November 1984.

AWAY DAY Tottenham have won all three of their away Premier League games this season – only three times in their history have they won their opening four on the road in a league campaign, doing so in 1949-50 when winning the second tier, 1960-61 when winning the top-flight title and in 2017-18 (finished third).
