It's all got a bit tense at The Hawthorns, if the tension wasn't quite palpable enough before.

Allan Nyom has finally calmed down a little bit but the tackles are flying here, there and everywhere as Tottenham continue to pile the pressure on the West Brom defence.

It's handbags between Danny Rose and Allan Nyom. Nyom pulls Rose back by the shirt and they square up, leaving Nyom on the ground clutching his face.

Nyom gets up but he's not happy with Rose receiving just a yellow, he thinks it should be red. Probably would have been harsh.

Nyom receives a booking as well for dissent.

Erik Lamela goes close with a free-kick from a fair way out, it's a clean hit that is on target but an outstretched Ben Foster pushes it away for a corner.

Time is ticking.

West Brom have a free-kick and captain Chris Brunt steps up to take it.

It drifts into the box and with it destined for the head of Ahmed Hegazi, who sneaks in around the back, it's cleared.

Tottenham shout for handball in the box when Danny Rose attempts to put the ball in but it's waved away by the referee.

Spurs are taking their time, they're not forcing anything, but are definitely looking most likely to score right now.

Victor Wanyama has a shot but it's straight at Ahmed Hegazi.

In theory, the longer this game goes on, the more West Brom will have to risk in order to get the goal they so desperately need.

The clear problem Darren Moore's side have is that they are hardly getting a touch of the ball in an area where they might threaten the Spurs goal.

If victory is going to come for the hosts, it will be a snatch and grab effort.

Chance for Spurs. Slick interplay as they travel up the pitch sees Erik Lamela played in on goal, but Ben Foster makes himself big to smother the shot.

Spurs look as though they're starting to click into second gear now.

West Brom desperately need to score here if they are to have any chance of beating the drop.

Draw or lose this game and they're down. The pressure is on.

Salomon Rondon, what a chance that was.

A ball into the box is missed by a Spurs defender, and it falls perfectly for Rondon, but he completely messes up his shot, barely touching the ball.

That could be very, very costly.

The second half is under way and it's a big 45 minutes ahead for West Brom.

The sun may be shining on The Hawthorns but that first half was a pretty dull affair. Spurs enjoyed 75% of the possession but had only two shots on target as West Brom's defence stood firm.

The Baggies started to put some pressure on their visitors as the first half drew to a close, so it will be interesting to see if they can continue that after the break.

The agony on the faces of those West Brom fans was something to behold as their side had a couple of chances at the end of the first half.

They clearly appreciate the Baggies' efforts and gave them warm applause at half-time.

If only the revival had come a month earlier they would have had a realistic shot at survival.

As it is, it remains the longest of long shots.

That's the whistle and it's half-time at The Hawthorns. Spurs have enjoyed the lion's share of possession but nothing can separate the teams as they go back down the tunnel.

West Brom have to stop Spurs from scoring - remember if they lose today, they'll be playing Championship football next season.

It's end-to-end stuff now as Spurs have a spell in the West Brom box, but they just can't break their opponents down.

West Brom are piling the pressure on now, they've found their feet just before half-time and they've won a corner.

Matt Phillips whips it in and Ahmed Hegazi heads it just wide. What a chance that was, and West Brom know it.

Cleared off the line! Jay Rodriguez sneaks in behind the back of Victor Wanyama and heads towards goal, but it's cleared by Jan Vertonghen.

That's certainly got the crowd excited.

Chances are still few and far between in this match, with Spurs unable to break down the West Brom defence.

Erik Lamela is the meat in a West Brom sandwich as he's brought down by two defenders on the edge of the box. He takes the resulting free-kick himself and blasts it straight at the wall.

Five minutes to go before half-time, can either team break the deadlock before the break?

It is a measure of the task facing West Brom today that it was 2008 when they last defeated Tottenham at home.

Roman Bednar and Craig Beattie scored for the Baggies that day - and Gareth Bale was on the bench for the visitors.

Toby Alderweireld is flat on his back in the West Brom half after a crunching tackle from James McClean.

McClean got the ball so the referee doesn't whistle, but the ball is put out of play as it becomes clear Alderweireld is in pain. He's back on his feet though and ready to crack on.
