DID YOU KNOW?
* In the form stakes there is nothing to tell between the two. Eight played, three won, four drawn and one lost each suggests the game will be pretty even, though West Brom have got a marginally better goal difference of one goal during that period.
* This equality holds true in the two club’s recent Premier League history, with two wins apiece and two draws in the last six games.
* The two sides are the Premier League’s comeback kings, topping the table for points gained when in losing positions (22). Tottenham have come back to win six games and draw four while losing, whereas the Baggies have won five and levelled in seven.

* Expect something to happen between the 37th and 42nd minutes. In this spell is when both Spurs and West Brom are most likely to concede and score the first goals in their games this season.
* Spurs' biggest defeat this season in the league was a rather respectable 2-0 loss to Manchester United, West Brom's is a whopping 6-0 beating at the hands of Chelsea.

* West Brom are on an incredible run of having not achieved a clean sheet in 35 games.
* In the Premier League, West Brom’s opponents have scored before them in 69.6% of their games - the league's worst record.

Spurs debutant Rafael Van der Vaart plays starring role but Chris Brunt’s 50th career goal cancels out Luka Modric’s opener to leave things are square.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Tottenham: Gomes; Corluka, Dawson, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Huddlestone, Modric, Van der Vaart; Pavlyuchenko, Crouch.

It is sure to be an open game at White Hart Lane. West Brom’s woeful defensive record suggests that they will be unable to contain a Spurs side full of vibrancy after the buoyant comeback against Arsenal. Expect to see the home side strolling to a comfortable win.
