Tottenham Hotspur vs West Bromwich Albion Prediction
Tottenham Hotspur are struggling at the moment, and have lost three games in a row in the league. They are 8th in the league table, and the absence of star striker Harry Kane due to injury has been a crucial loss. Manager Jose Mourinho has come under pressure after some poor performances.
West Bromwich Albion, on the other hand, are 19th in the league table, just one point ahead of 20th placed Sheffield United. They were busy in the January transfer window, signing players like Mbaye Diagne, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Okay Yokuslu on loan, and they will have little time to adapt with instant results required.
While Jose Mourinho's side have looked poor in recent games, they should be able to beat West Bromwich Albion.
Prediction: Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 West Bromwich Albion
