Tottenham picked up their sixth successive win in all competitions last weekend when they overcame Championship side Aston Villa 2-0 in the third round of the FA Cup.

Goals from Ben Davies and Son Heung-min sealed Mauricio Pochettino’s men a place in the last 32 of the world’s oldest club competition, where they will play host to League Two high-flyers Wycombe Wanderers in a few weeks’ time.

Nonetheless, Spurs turn their attentions back to the Premier League this weekend, with Tony Pulis’ West Brom visiting White Hart Lane in a bid to become the first team to win there in the league this season.

However, Pochettino’s men go into Saturday’s encounter having beaten league leaders Chelsea 2-0 in their last league outing, which has since raised hopes that Tottenham could end a 56-year wait for the First Division title this season.

Spurs have won their last five league games, and know that victory in Saturday’s early kick-off would take them above Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool into second place, and to within four points of Antonio Conte’s Chelsea.
