Tottenham Hotspur host West Bromwich Albion at White Hart Lane on Monday evening looking to ramp up the pressure on leaders Leicester City at the top of the Premier League.

As it stands with four games to go, Spurs are five points behind Leicester and are on a role and will want to continue their amazing form.

Spurs swept aside Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium 4-0 last week to show that they are only getting stronger as the finish line gets closer. The win coupled with the Foxes dropping points was a huge moment in the title race. 

Once again though Spurs will be hoping with Leicester playing first against Swansea City that they will able to capitalise on any slip-ups by the Foxes which would be so crucial at this stage of the season.

West Brom come into the game with safety confirmed in the Premier League for another season as they sit in 15th position on 40 points with four games to go. The problem though is that West Brom have only won one of their last six games in the league so therefore their form isn't the best going into this game.

The Baggies will be hoping to perform better than they did against Spurs North London rivals Arsenal on Thursday evening when they were so poor and were defeated 2-0.

Last meetings

Last season when these sides met at White Hart Lane, West Brom won the game 1-0 with a winner coming from James Morrison. The result earlier on in the season at the Hawthorns was also a close affair as the game ended in a 1-1 draw. Dele Alli scored the opener for Spurs while James McClean got the equaliser for the Baggies.
