Tottenham's centre-back pairing of Belgium internationals Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen has been instrumental in theirfantastic start to the Premier League season, believes former Scotland winger Pat Nevin.

“Mauricio Pochettino has developed the Spurs players and the ones who have not been doing it have been jettisoned," he told 5 live Sport on Friday.

"The key is the centre-back pairing of Toby Alderweireld and Jan Vertonghen –  Spurs have not had that right for a long time. With Eric Dier in front of them, it looks a bit special.”

West Brom striker Saido Berahino has scored just three goals in 11 appearances since being denied a summer move to Tottenham and is not in the starting XI today.

Asked about the 22-year-old ahead of the game, manager Tony Pulis offered this blunt assessment.

"Last season, the most influential player at the club was Saido but, for six months, we've played with Saido being nowhere near as good as he was last year. I'm not blaming Saido, not anyone, it's just fact."

Sounds like he very much is blaming him...

Tottenham may be challenging to the top end of the Premier League but their fans are second-from-bottom of the BBC Sport Predictor league. West Brom fans, meanwhile, are mid-table. You can change all that now by predicting the outcome of this match and the rest of the weekend’s fixtures here.

Jonathan Pearce
BBC football commentator at The Hawthorns

"Tottenham are enjoying their longest ever unbeaten Premier League run. They're unbeaten in five visits to The Hawthorns and the 'Hurri-Kane' is blowing strongly again.

"Spurs will start as red-hot favourites but West Brom are showing enough resilience to suggest they've fully bought into the Tony Pulis recipe for survival.

"They won't boss possession. They will try to shackle Dele Alli and starve Harry Kane of supplies. Spurs looked jaded against Chelsea. They might have to settle for a draw here."

Yellow card for 'Hurri-Kane', Jonathan.

There are two alterations to Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham team, with Dele Alli available again to replace the injured Ryan Mason and Eric Lamela preferred to Son Heung-min.
