Will Sunday's game at the Hawthorns be West Brom's best chance of scoring the most points in a game this season so far? It could be that Tottenham Hotspur will go out for another night in the Europa League. José Mourinho's team played their 15th game of the season on Thursday night in Belarus. They achieved a 3-1 victory over Ludogorets
Spurs' midweek Europa League victory took them to the top of the group table with six points. They are level with Royal Antwerp and LASK Linz with six points in a surprisingly competitive group. Now Mourinho's players turn their attention to the Premier League with a trip to the West Midlands before the international break begins on Monday.
West Brom are 18th in the Championship standings heading into matchday eight. They took just three points from a possible 21. Slaven Bilic's team has been bad in all phases of the game. West Brom allowed 16 goals to their opponents and scored just six times.
Tottenham Hotspur are third and two points behind first-place Liverpool. They can go top of the table with a win when Liverpool visit Manchester City and Leicester City face Wolverhampton Wanderers.
West Brom vs Tottenham Betting Odds
Two of West Brom's three championship points came at the Hawthorns. The draws were against Chelsea and Burnley. While the last draw was nothing to worry about as it was a goalless draw, their match against Chelsea was a thriller. West Brom had a 3-0 lead at half-time before allowing Chelsea to come from behind to win the tie 3-3.
The three goals the Baggies scored against Chelsea were the only ones scored by the Hawthorns this season. In two of their three home games, West Brom failed to score. Meanwhile, they have allowed six goals in three games to their home rivals.
Tottenham Hotspur have the second best points total on the road. Mourinho's team scored nine points out of a possible nine. They scored 12 brilliant goals and allowed just three own goals. It is worth noting that Spurs scored five goals against Southampton and six against Manchester United away from home. Only one goal came in his last away game against Burnley.
These teams last met in the 2017-18 Premier League season. West Brom surprised Spurs by taking four points from six possible. There have been many changes on both sides and these historical trends will not affect the game.
West Brom v Tottenham team news
The big news coming out of the Hawthorns is that Bilic is likely to be sacked during the international break. A change of managers would give West Brom time for someone to implement their ideas. Still, West Brom are hoping Lee Bowyer takes over. The Charlton Athletic manager has never worked in the Premier League and the move seems silly as Bowyer would be in over his head.
West Brom have three players injured as Sam Fields, Hal Robson-Kanu and Dara O'Shea are injured. O'Shea is expected to return to the squad this week after almost recovering from an ankle injury.
Three players have been dropped onto Tottenham Hotspur's disabled list to join the absent Japhet Tanganga. Erik Lamela is out with a calf injury but is expected to return after the international break. Mourinho can recover Sergio Reguilon and Serge Aurier. The former is overcoming an illness, while the latter had a minor physical problem that kept him out of Thursday night's Europa League game.
Fatigue could be a factor for Spurs after another trip to Eastern Europe in midweek. Spurs have not lost in the league since their debut against Everton, 1-0. So far, they have dealt with fatigue from midweek games.
West Brom vs Tottenham Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur win to nil – BET NOW
Tottenham Hotspur's defense has not been as strong as expected. Just three of their 15 games in all competitions have ended without conceding a goal. Two of their nil wins have come in the last five games in all competitions. West Brom are not a good attacking team and with Bilic almost out of the game, motivation could be low on Sunday. West Brom did not score goals in their last home game against Burnley.
Harry Kane to score at any time – BET NOW
Harry Kane scored 12 goals in 13 games in all competitions. Mourinho may be using Kane too often as the striker is prone to injuries. However, it is possible that Mourinho is simply trying to get the most out of Kane now in case he is injured later. It tends to break down in the second half of the season. Kane has scored a goal in his last two games in all competitions.
More than 2,5 goals scored – BET NOW
Nine of Tottenham Hotspur's 15 games in all competitions have ended with over 2,5 goals scored this season. They have attacked well and have shown great victories against Southampton, 5-2, and Manchester United, 6-1. Tottenham Hotspur went away and beat their league rivals by big scores. With West Brom playing so poorly, can Spurs pull off a big score win?
Tottenham Hotspur's consecutive games in all competitions have ended with over 2,5 goals scored. These games saw Spurs concede a goal. The defense could improve this weekend thanks in part to West Brom's poor attack.
West Brom have been zero in three of their last four games. Two of the last six games ended with over 2,5 goals scored. This is a team about to make a change of direction and a defeat to Tottenham Hotspur will likely be the catalyst for the change on Sunday/Monday night.
Tottenham Hotspur should have little trouble beating West Brom on Sunday and potentially go top of the table. Mourinho plays well and much more consistently than ever under the manager.
